The outdoor garden is a stunning ground for creation of beautiful wedding photography. I like the interior very much. The staff is also very helpful and food is very tempting and delicious. What an amazing venue for a wedding.

Carol: Beautiful heritage building, although the rooms where canapes and drinks were served prior to dinner were very narrow. Dinner was nice, including for people with food intolerances, and was served in a large, comfortable room. The plus point is during the night, the stairs in front of the dining room make up a perfect wedding photograph opportunity for Melbourne wedding photographer to take some stunning night shots.
