The Orchard Estate

The Orchard Estate feels private and incredibly peaceful, with 100 acres of macadamia orchard and rolling hinterland surrounding a modern, barn-inspired restaurant. The barn itself has high ceilings, large windows, polished concrete floors, white walls and dark framing, a sleek blank canvas to make your own.

We love that the whole wedding can unfold across the property. You can hold the ceremony amongst the macadamia trees or on the western lawn, have cocktails outside as the sun goes down, then move into the barn for dinner and dancing — or dine outside under the stars and fairy lights. It gives you plenty of freedom to create something personal without needing to bring absolutely everything onsite.
