Rusty Gate Grove Bar & Winery
About
Overview & Vibe
Rusty Gate Grove is a bar and winery on eleven acres of working avocado farm in the Childers hinterland, half an hour inland from Bundaberg, looking out over the red hills.
Setting & Style
The Ceremony Garden is a large, well-manicured lawn with a rustic timber arbour at its head, backed by hinterland views and lush gardens, and it seats large numbers. Receptions then move to whichever space suits the guest count — the venue runs several and can hold more than one function at a time without them running into each other. The covered pavilion strings festoon lighting across long tables, and a big tree in the courtyard gets wrapped in fairy lights after dark. The format is deliberately open: anything from a simple garden wedding with canapés and a cocktail reception through to a full ceremony and à la carte dinner.
Ideal For
Couples who want an avocado grove and red hinterland hills in the photographs, with the flexibility to scale the day up or down.
The Need-to-Knows
- Eleven acres, thirty minutes from Bundaberg in the Childers hinterland.
- The Ceremony Garden has a rustic timber arbour and seats large numbers; no figure is published.

- Catering scales from canapés and cocktails to an à la carte dinner.
- Accommodation is offered on site; pricing and capacity are both quoted on enquiry.
Standout Feature
Wedding photographs down the rows of a working avocado grove, with the red hills of Childers behind.

On Site Accommodation
- The venue offers accommodation on site alongside the bar, winery and function spaces, so your guests can stay rather than driving back to Bundaberg or Childers. Room detail and rates are not published.
Price Notes
- No pricing, per-head rate, venue hire fee or minimum spend is published; couples are directed to contact the venue or complete an enquiry form. No numeric capacity is published either - the Ceremony Garden is described only as able to cater for seating large numbers of people, and reception space is selected according to guest count. What the venue does publish is the range it will work across: from a simple garden wedding with a canape and cocktail reception through to an elaborate ceremony and a la carte dinner. The property spans 11 acres of working avocado farm in the Childers Hinterland, 30 minutes from Bundaberg, overlooking the rich red hills of Childers with rural and mountain views, and can host multiple functions at once while keeping each event separate. On-site accommodation is offered.
