Bella Vista was built in 1919 for the then Manager of BHP's Newcastle Steel Works, David Baker. An American Steel-maker, David Baker had been brought to Australia to advise BHP on the establishment of the steel works. Since it's completion, Bella Vista has become deeply woven into the fabric of the region's rich history.
The Tradition Lives On
During the 1930's, Bella Vista became a VIP residence used by visiting company directors and their guests. It hosted Edward Prince of Wales, Louis Mountbatten, the Duke of Gloucester and Queen Elizabeth II. Maintaining the style and grandeur of a bygone era, Bella Vista is available for those who seek a quality private setting with service and value to match.
