Here is an front view of the outside of The Station House Motel Golden Bay.  This cozy little family run motel in Golden Bay is one of the best around for value, comfort and convenience.  The Station House Motel was built in 1907 and until 1967 it was Collingwood’s police station.  After the gold boom in Golden Bay was over the population diminished and there was no need for two police stations. The Station House Motel was then sold to The Salvation Army and ran as a Bed and Breakfast until 2010 when it was tastefully renovated and turned into a beautiful little motel.
