OVERVIEW
A mere 20 minutes from the heart of Canberra, Ginninderry is a fairytale-esque escape that will have you in the romantic mindset right from your arrival. The homestead itself offers a tranquil country retreat with four queen ensuite rooms, a formal lounge, a breakfast room, and an upstairs sitting area.
Explore 70 acres of park-like gardens, which set the scene for a romantic ceremony with views of distant mountain ranges. The meticulously maintained gardens are also ideal for wedding portraiture post-ceremony; your wedding photographer will be spoilt for choice with the selection of stunning backdrops.
For your wedding celebration, your guests will marvel at the ornate beauty of the Grand Reception Centre with its high ceilings, chandeliers, fireplace, and spectacular views from the French doors and outdoor entertaining area. Enjoy a delicious and personalised menu from Ginninderry Homestead’s award-winning chef.
