Eight Willows Retreat is such a beautiful setting for a wedding, and one we always enjoy coming back to. Tucked amongst the Margaret River region’s natural landscape, it has a lovely sense of privacy and feels completely removed from the everyday. From a photography perspective, the property is fantastic. The surrounding bushland, gardens and accommodation create plenty of different settings for photographs, meaning you can get a really varied collection of images without needing to leave the venue.

Beautiful spot surrounded by bushland. The wedding events manager is absolutely lovely and a pleasure to work with. The rooms are a good size and have great natural light for taking the getting ready photos. There's lots of possible locations for photos, the ferns are my personal favourite! You can even see the kangaroos grazing around the grounds. Love photographing at this venue.

Absolutely phenomenal! It was so easy to get around everywhere from the location. The chalet and view was absolutely amazing. It was also equipped with everything we needed. Thank you to the entire team who made the stay so easy, seamless and stress-free. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We will be back!!
