Nestled on a scenic hillside in the heart of the Margaret River wine region, Gilgara Retreat perfectly blends timeless charm with modern style for your special day. Just a quick five-minute drive from Margaret River town, this peaceful venue offers a private escape surrounded by lovely cottage-style gardens and expansive lawns—ideal for couples seeking a serene wedding setting.
Venue Spaces and What They Offer
The highlight of Gilgara Retreat is the Gilgara Homestead, a classic farmhouse that creates a warm and inviting backdrop for your ceremony and reception. You can say your vows in a romantic garden setting, choosing to stand beneath the shade of majestic London plane trees or beside a graceful weeping willow.
For your reception, the grassed courtyard behind the Homestead is perfect for a marquee celebration. This space allows for a smooth flow from ceremony to dining and dancing under the stars. The wide verandas and courtyard are versatile, easily accommodating both casual cocktail gatherings and elegant sit-down dinners.
On-Site Accommodation for You and Your Loved Ones
One of the biggest perks of Gilgara Retreat is the on-site accommodation, making it easy for your wedding party and close family to stay together throughout the celebration. The property offers two distinct lodging options:
- Gilgara Homestead: Five country-style bedrooms, each with a king bed and private ensuite bathroom. Shared lounge and dining areas provide a cozy space to relax and connect.
- Gilgara Garden Apartments: For more privacy, choose from modern, self-contained split-level loft suites featuring king beds, spa baths, and fully equipped kitchenettes.
Having your preparations, ceremony, reception, and accommodation all in one place ensures a smooth, stress-free experience for you and your guests.
