The gardens

Fifteen years of garden in every photograph

Nobody builds a garden like this in five years. Roseville’s three acres of formal garden were uncovered and replanted over fifteen years — over 250 peony, David Austin and other roses, flowering cherries and pears, thousands of daffodils and irises, then a fountain, a sunken garden, the arch garden, a tall conifer garden, stone walls and water troughs, and a 154-tree orchard of apricots, apples, nectarines and cherries.

It means photographs that don’t look like everyone else’s. Not a couple in a grassy paddock — a couple in a garden with age, character and somewhere lovely to wander at golden hour.

The spaces

Three settings, one garden

    The marquee

    A Hamptons pole tent marquee, 21.2m × 9.5m, with peaked tops and a grass floor — nothing like a standard white box. It breaks down into a smaller, more intimate setting or opens out for the full celebration.
  • Guests at a long table set beneath the tree avenue

    Long tables under the robinias

    A long-table feast beneath the row of mop-top robinias, for around fifty guests. Dappled shade by day, long golden light into the evening.

    Cocktails among the barrels

    Wine barrels and white umbrellas for canapés and drinks — perfect between ceremony and reception while the photographer steals you away.

Accommodation & getting here

Seasons

Our wedding season runs September to March

At 1,340 metres the seasons are clear and distinct — and each gives a different wedding.

  • Spring · Sep–Nov

    Daffodils, tulips and irises, then pear and cherry blossom through the orchard. The garden at its most romantic, and Garden Festival season.

  • Summer · Dec–Feb

    Warm days without the humidity — even at 36° it doesn’t feel it under the old trees. Long light, cool evenings and extraordinary sunsets.

  • Autumn · Mar

    Gold through the robinias and the orchard. Late autumn dates may open up — ask us.

June to August we rest: snow, frosts to minus four and a sleeping garden. It’s a beautiful time to visit, just not to marry outdoors.

Picture your day

How a Roseville wedding could look

These are styling concepts, not photos of a real wedding. We created them with AI from photographs of our own garden (and, for the marquee, our supplier’s photo of the actual tent), to show how the spaces could be set up. We’ll replace them with real photos as our first weddings take place.

The marquee is priced on application to suit your numbers. You bring your catering, drinks, tables and chairs, styling and suppliers — we’ll recommend people we trust.

Can we see Roseville before we book?

Yes — we’d love to show you around on a site visit. If you can’t make the trip, we can walk you through the garden on a FaceTime call instead.

Can we bring our own alcohol?

Yes. Roseville is BYO. Drinks are served by your caterer’s RSA-certified staff, or by a licensed caterer who supplies them.

What are the toilets like?

We hire luxury bathroom units — the standard at destination weddings — and there’s an accessible bathroom in the house for the bride and anyone who needs it.

In Guyra: the Royal Hotel and the Guyra Hotel (both with recently renovated rooms), the Shiralee Motel, the Bowling Club cabins, or camping on site. Armidale is thirty minutes away. The main house has a bridal preparation space, and its four to five bedrooms can host the bridal party on request. Our supplier list includes accommodation and transport options.

When is your wedding season?

September to March. Spring brings bulbs and blossom, summer is warm without humidity, and early autumn brings colour through the robinias and orchard. We close from June to August.

How far is Roseville from Brisbane?

Around five hours’ drive, via the New England Highway — close enough for a weekend away that feels like a proper escape. Or fly: Armidale Regional Airport has flights from Sydney and Brisbane and is about thirty minutes from the gates.

Do you host 21sts or bucks and hens nights?

No. Roseville is a family home and a quiet garden, so we don’t host 21sts, bucks or hens nights, or anything rowdy.
