Your day, your way

50 minutes South of Adelaide. Just past McLaren Vale on the Adelaide side of Mt Compass next to Pages Flat. Set on 500 acres with 3.5km of private valley - no other on-site activities, no traffic and no light pollution. We are not open to the public.   

Our 2022 venue hire fee of $10,000 (plus GST) is inexpensive when you consider the extensive range and quality of what we provide. Our inclusions are vastly superior to other hire items and our list is growing. Caterers alone will reveal the hidden costs that emerge as a result of booking a less well-equipped venue…

2023 venue hire fee is $12,000 plus the GST
