The Setting

Narelle_Jimi_Rock_0825.jpg

Sunnystones is a 50 acre property bordering the Long Forest Nature Conservation Reserve.  We enjoy uninterrupted views of the forest, including many varieties of wildflowers, mallee trees and box gums.

 

We have a large space just down the valley from the homestead which is perfect for the ceremony and/or reception.  The setup can be customised to your liking, and vehicle access means it is possible for an array of personalised choices!

The Homestead

An architecturally designed stone building that has a large dining area suited for a formal sit down wedding or a cocktail style party. It is serviceable by our commercial kitchen, which can be utilised by caterers of your choice. The dining hall can seat up to 80 guests for a sit down meal or up to 150 for a stand-up cocktail style wedding. 

The Lawn

At the end of 2021 we had a double levelled area excavated and turfed perfect for marquee's or glamping tents! The space is 35 metres x 25 metres looking out to Mt Macedon and the Long Forest Flora and Fauna Reserve. There is also a fire pit and seats on the bottom level for a relaxing afternoon hangout.

Noise Restrictions

In line with Council regulations we are respectful of our neighbours. All amplified music on weekends needs to be switched off from 11pm onwards and, 10pm onwards on Friday nights. 


Don't let that end your night though, pull up a chair around the fire and get lost under the stars with some roasted s'mores and good company.

Parking

We have a few areas to park, and they are signed (Bus Park, Car Park etc.).  If you are expecting a lot of cars we recently got a new area marked as 'main group car park' which has a sign pointing to it, and it would be handy to even park a couple of cars neatly next to each other in the car park to start the row, then kick back and watch everyone else follow!
