It features a granite base and slatted timber on the northern end, with horizontal boarding above vertical boarding. The dado height is finished with railed boards above, and there are later wire grilles. The longer sides face east and west, with canted ends. There are two doors on the eastern side. The pavilion boasts very fine slates on its polygonal roof, which has overhanging eaves and decorative glazed terracotta ridge tiles.
