Memories that will resonate for a lifetime

Nuanced beauty sets the stage for unforgettable magic

Pass through the grand entryway of the homestead and you’ll find Gabbinbar’s reception space, the Conservatory, complete with a striking glass ceiling and elegant chandelier. With its inherent beauty, only the gentlest of touches are needed to transform this space into the perfect setting for your wedding.

After the formalities conclude, dance the night away in our original ballroom, recently restored to its former glory.

The Ballroom

The Ballroom

Imposing in its scale and rich in history, the ballroom sits in harmony with the traditional architecture of the homestead and the beautiful surrounding environment. Added to the main homestead in 1881, it was host to countless family wedding receptions, joyous Christmas parties, and social gatherings during the occupancy by the Governors of Queensland. Today, the Ballroom becomes the backdrop to some of the most memorable moments of your wedding day. Your first dance as a married couple, a special dance with parents or the joyous embrace of friends, celebrating the start of new journeys, every moment finds its perfect place.
