WEDDING PARTY ACCOMMODATION WITH CEREMONY AND OR RECEPTION 

If your planning on holding your wedding or reception on our beautiful grounds, we require that you book the whole retreat for the night before and the night of your event. This is to allow us to clean from previous guests and to provide you with time to prepare for your event and to ensure privacy.

In addition to accommodation costs, we offer grounds hire on the day of your event/ceremony and/or reception for the following costs. If your event is limited to guests staying at the accommodation, we charge $200 for grounds use. If you have guests visiting for your event but not staying at the property, the following ground hire fees apply: $500 for up to 30 attending guests and $700 for up to 50 attending guests. We are unable to accommodate more than a total of 50 people at the property. This is to ensure that we can maintain the pristine natural environment that the Fernglen Forest Retreat offers. 

Please note also that guests are required to leave the grounds in the same condition they found it and all rubbish is to be removed.

It is possible to check the exact prices and available dates for the accommodation via our website. Booking on our site is easy and the most economical option. Under 'book' enter your intended dates and the number of staying guests (noting that we require you to book the night preceding you event as well) - if it's available on your dates the whole retreat will come up with your price. The price for the whole retreat includes all 5 cottages. 

Once you are happy with our price or quote we can hold the booking with a 10% deposit.

WEDDING PARTY ACCOMMODATION WITH CEREMONY AND OR RECEPTION BOOKED ELSEWHERE

Should you only require accommodation as you are interested in another wedding venue, The Fernglen Forest Retreat is located only 700 meters from Tatra wedding receptions and is also within a short drive to other wedding venues such as Sky-high, Poets Lane, Lyrebird Falls, Nathania Springs, and Mist to name a few. This makes our accommodation perfect for wedding parties.

The price for the whole retreat is for all five child & pet friendly, self-contained cottages. All cottages have car parking, fireplaces, high speed internet, TV with streaming services, a kitchen, a coffee machine, teas, bathrooms (2 cottages have indoor spa baths and another has an outdoor Jacuzzi) and outdoor areas with BBQs. We can accommodate larger groups of 20 people in beds, and up to 12 additional guests with trundle and sofa bed options
