- HHannah & Gav26/03/2026Natural BeautyNatural BeautyGoolawah was the absolute wedding venue of our dreams. From the moment we first visited — in the pouring rain, no less — we knew this place was something special. Even through the grey skies, the property’s natural beauty shone through, and we were completely blown away. Throughout the entire planning process, Summer was an absolute star. Our endless back-and-forth emails were always answered quickly and kindly — she was efficient, patient, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Goolawah was the absolute wedding venue of our dreams.

- KKayla (Gypsy George)26/03/2026Stunning RetreatStunning RetreatThe most stunning retreat, I have been lucky enough to work most weekends at this venue but also attend a wedding myself as a guest. I would highly recommend this venue as a place to share my love and celebrate with my family and friends. The views from the cabins are absolutely stunning sometimes you can see the whales in the distance from the top cabins - If you are a couple who are having the ceremony and reception at Goolawah - the venue has a beautiful pavilion area, brand new fire pit areaThe most stunning retreat, I have been lucky enough to work most weekends at this venue but also attend a wedding myself as a guest.
