We got married here at the end of July and had an absolutely magical experience! We had our ceremony in the bush chapel which we highly recommend and can’t thank Carly enough for making it happen amongst the weather on the day. The reception was just as incredible, inside the function centre with the fire roaring in the background. We could not fault the level of service and friendliness provided to our guests by all members of staff. Thanks again to Carly and the team!!

We recently attended a wedding here late March. The bush chapel set up was great. The reception area was amazing overlooking a beautiful lake and looks fantastic in the evening with the festoon lights out staff. The wait staff at the reception were very attentive. And the food was nice. Not amazing but pleasant. We also stayed at the venue in a chalet, sharing with another couple. The chalets were spotlessly clean. I contacted them after we left as I had left some toiletries in the bathroom by mistake and they mailed them to me, I just paid the postage which was helpful and saved me being new products. I can’t show photos as it wasn’t my wedding, but a nice place to get married.

We had our wedding here at the beautiful Eight Willows Retreat and it was perfect! The wedding planning team helped me truly make sure the day was perfect, although there were many details to sort out, they helped make the process simple and seamless. The ceremony location we used was the Bush Chapel which is absolutely gorgeous and the reception venue was fantastic. All the staff we very helpful and kind, the venue was beautiful and the rooms were very nice. Thank you for the unforgettable experience!
