Why 1908?
At the turn of the XXth century, the Illawara train line revived the remote seaside gem of Cronulla, putting it on the map. Surrounded by glittering waters & magnificent sand dunes, Cronulla started to attract settlers, beach lovers & Sydney-siders. A Methodist church was erected circa 1908, where the restaurant now stands. It went on to be the Shire library in the seventies, The Old Library Restaurant six years ago and, in 2016, 1908 Cronulla Social Restaurant & Cocktail Bar! Impressed by the great bones of the building, the tall ceilings, the exposed beams & original timber lining, award-winning designers Guthrie & Hecker transformed the venue into its current incarnation, designing the space with a connection to both the seaside location & the original architecture, whilst adding new elements such as the impressive central bar. Working within the voluminous spaces, they created a sense of intimacy & gathering through creating a series of rooms within rooms & spaces within spaces. Sibella Court, internationally known interior stylist, was responsible for the interiors. Custom furniture pieces & a natural palette of oak, linen, white timber & blackened steel contribute to the relaxed space that is 1908 Cronulla.
