Weddings
Married at the water’s edge.
A lakeside farm on the Capel River — and one of the South West’s rare waterfront wedding venues. One wedding at a time, up to 300 guests.
We’re not a wedding factory. There’s one wedding on at a time, the lakes are yours for the evening, and the same family that farms the water is here on the day.

The Setting
A world away, the moment you turn in.
You arrive down a long avenue of gums, and by the time you reach the lakes the road has already done half the work. They sit still by late afternoon and face due west, so ceremonies run straight into the sunset — and behind them, a pavilion built from timber reclaimed from the old Fremantle Jetty.
It’s a real farm, not a manicured estate. That’s the point. We’re 25 minutes south of Bunbury and about two hours from Perth — close enough for guests to get here, far enough that it feels like somewhere else entirely.
The Spaces
Three spots, one flowing day.
Ceremony · up to 300
The River
A clear stretch of lawn at the water’s edge, facing the sunset. Vows with the lakes and open sky behind you.
Reception · 180 seated / 300 standing
The Pavilion
Built from reclaimed Fremantle Jetty timber, open to the lakes on one side. Dinner, speeches and dancing, undercover whatever the weather.
Sunset drinks · up to 300
The Long Deck
The restaurant deck out over the water — where canapés and the first drinks happen while photos are taken.
The Table
The marron is grown fifty metres away.
Most venues buy their seafood in. We pull ours from the lakes you’re standing beside. Menus are built for sharing, cooked fresh, and change a little with the season.
To share, as everyone arrives
Grilled Whole Capel Marron
garlic butter, corn & cranberry salsa
Rock Oysters

To the table, family-style

The things couples always ask
What if it rains?
The pavilion seats everyone. We move the ceremony under cover with the lakes still in view — no scramble, no back-up venue.
Where do guests stay?
Bunbury is 25 minutes away with plenty of rooms; Busselton and Margaret River are an easy drive. We’ll send a list.
Can we come look first?
Please do. We run walk-throughs late afternoon so you see the light you’d actually get married in.
When’s the sunset?
We time your ceremony to it. Sunset here runs to about 7.20pm in midsummer and around 5.20pm in June, so ceremonies are usually 5–5.30pm in summer and around 3.30pm through the cooler months.
Do you host smaller ones?
Yes — elopements and dinners from a dozen guests, right up to 300. Same lakes, same kitchen.
Can we bring our own suppliers?
Bring your own florist, celebrant, photographer and music. Catering & bar stay with us — it’s the best of the farm.
What Happens Next
Come and see it for yourself.
The best way to know if this is your place is to stand on the lawn at five o’clock and watch the light go. Send us a note and we’ll set it up.
