About the host
Hosted by grada shipway
Peter and I bought Chanticleer Gardens in 2003 when it was a small hobbyist alpaca farm.
We love gardens and immediately set about turning our 5 acre rural property into an award winning English style garden. 20 years later as it reaches maturity is has become a very appealing place to come for a retreat or to host a small event.
4 years ago we decide to turn the last remaining paddocks into the rear courtyard garden and convert the barn into a Hamptoms cottage.
This has created a beautiful space to host your own wedding or small celebratory occasion or just a weekend getaway.
We converted the Barn into a two bedroom Hamptons style cottage, while retaining the barn doors so that our tree-lined avenue becomes a focal point for a wedding ceremony.
We are on the outskirts of Sydney, a 50 minute drive from the CBD and surrounded by other rural properties such as orchards and horse studs.
All events that are hosted on our property are daytime only; 10.30am -6pm and must be arranged through us first.

What makes this property unique
"Bridal Preparation" and "First Look" package.
As the Wedding Preparation can be a mini event in itself, we decided to offer a package that includes a small function for family and the bridal party the night before as well as access for multiple visitors throughout the day of the wedding.
Chanticleer Gardens is a great space to prepare for your wedding day and The Pre-Wedding Package includes two nights stay.
The bride and maids on the first night with access for family members, photographer, beauticians and hairdresser (up to 20 ) people onto the property to prepare for the wedding day.
The first night allows a small bbq or similar dinner function with family and bridal party.
There's room for that stretch "limo" to park and turn around.
The second night is for the wedding night with the full cottage for your honeymoon.
Only the bridal couple or 6 family guests have access to the cottage on the second night.
This doesn't allow for an after party or wedding ceremony.
Book this through Stayz with a special request.
Package $750 /per night, 2 nights minimum booking.
