- Wedding Packages: All inclusive
Golf lovers take note. If you're wanting a relaxed wedding destination in the Southern Highlands where there's plenty to entertain your guests all weekend long, we can't recommend Sylvan Glen Estate highly enough, as it has loads of onsite accommodation for all your favourite peeps, plus you get exclusive use of your own private 9 hole golf course.
The 60 acre estate caters for celebrations with up to 140 guests, but is thoughtfully designed so smaller weddings still feel warm and intimate, and you never feel like you're being swamped by empty space. The reception room's L-shaped layout allows it to be arranged to perfectly suit your guest numbers and has warm and cosy book-barn vibes with a dance floor, bar and lounge.
Three day wedding packages at this unique woodland property include an amazing vine-covered altar perfect for intimate garden ceremonies, a 15 suite heritage guesthouse with an outdoor pizza oven (sleeps 42), and a barn for casual gatherings. Up to 62 guests can stay onsite if you add Scribbly Cottage which is located in a private corner of the estate. Affordably priced compared to other Southern Highlights venues.

Having reviewed dozens of small wedding venues in the Southern Highlands, Scribbly Cottage remains one of the lesser-known yet best spots for an intimate Airbnb-style celebration with 40 or fewer guests. The cottage is hidden in a private corner of Sylvan Glen Estate amongst 60 acres of ecologically protected woodlands, and with a private 9 hole golf course it's an idyllic country location to stay, play and get married over 3 days.
Affordable wedding packages include two nights accommodation for up to 20 guests across 5 bedrooms and a bunkhouse, use of the gardens and fully furnished marquee for your ceremony and reception, and a customised food and beverage menu tailored just for you. With owner Donna’s support throughout the planning process, this venue exudes the wonderful warmth of a family-run estate.
