The historic
Gabbinbar
Homestead

For 148 years, the historic Gabbinbar Homestead was a private residence used by the Governors of Queensland as their Summer Resort. This charming Homestead was renowned for its beautiful gardens, peaceful ambience and warm hospitality.

In 2012, we officially opened the Homestead with a passion to do weddings differently. Instead of a function venue, we offer a magnificent estate as your exclusive home for your special day - complete with award winning food, exceptional service and breathtaking ceremony and reception locations.
