Milestone celebrations
For the big birthday, the anniversary, the reason to gather everyone — a whole 1903 house and six-acre garden to yourselves, where the group who stay can mark the occasion around the long table and wake to the garden.
The best milestones aren't rushed into a few hours. With the whole house to yourselves, the celebration unfolds across a weekend — a long lunch on the verandah, drinks in the garden at golden hour, the long table set for dinner, and everyone still there in the morning.
It's made for the multi-generational gathering: living rooms for the grandparents, garden for the children, and bedrooms enough for up to 26. Self-cater across two kitchens or bring a private chef, and let the house — grand, warm, one of a kind — be part of the occasion.
Ninety minutes from Sydney, close enough for everyone to make it, private enough that the celebration is entirely your own.
Every gathering takes the whole estate — see the group accommodation in the Southern Highlands that sleeps 26.
