About

Overview & Vibe

Coolangatta Estate sits beneath the foothills of Mount Coolangatta on Bolong Road at Shoalhaven Heads — a village of convict-built heritage buildings surrounded by rolling vineyards and sweeping views.

Setting & Style

The estate hires out for two full days rather than an afternoon, which lets couples bring their own style, team and vision. Two ceremony spots: the historic Moreton Bay Fig Tree, a grand natural canopy steeped in history, or the Croquet Lawn ringed by heritage buildings and vineyards — each set with twenty white folding chairs, a clothed signing table and a complimentary wet-weather backup. Guests then take drinks and canapés on the Main Lawn overlooking the historic buildings while the couple photographs across the estate, before the Crow’s Nest Function Room carries the reception: open-plan, with a historic open fireplace and lounge setting, seating 150 with a dance floor or 200 without. It is a venue-hire-only property, so couples choose their own caterer, though licensing means all alcohol is supplied and served by the estate’s RSA-qualified staff.

Ideal For

Couples who want two days on a heritage estate and full control over who cooks.

Price Notes

Historic grounds and reception spaces are available for two-day venue hire at $5,000, covering exclusive access to the Crow's Nest Function Room and surrounding event spaces, with bar service for a set period and the option to extend at additional cost. Ceremony inclusions are 20 white folding chairs, a clothed signing table and a complimentary wet-weather back-up location; tables and chairs are provided for up to 100 guests, with couples welcome to bring additional furniture. The estate operates as venue-hire-only, so couples choose their own caterer, but licensing requires all alcohol to be supplied and served by Coolangatta Estate through RSA-qualified staff at one staff member per 50 guests. Beverage packages are $50 per person for two hours or $99 per person for four hours, and a bar tab carries a $500 minimum spend. A non-refundable $5,000 deposit secures the booking, and a $1,000 security bond applies; the venue hire deposit is strictly non-refundable
