Coolibah Downs Private Estate
About
Overview & Vibe
Coolibah Downs hides ten acres of English-style gardens and an antique stone chapel in the Gold Coast hinterland foothills at Mount Nathan — ten minutes from the coast but a world away, all hedges, fountains and fairy-lit marquee evenings.
Setting & Style
Couples marry in the storybook stone chapel or beneath the garden gazebo among white-chaired lawns, then celebrate under the silk-lined marquee's chandeliers with long tables running toward the dance floor. Styles flex from rustic and boho to classic elegance and cultural celebrations, with Gareth Keenan Catering running menus and tastings, wedding coordination in-house and the homestead sleeping the bridal party on site.
Ideal For
Couples wanting a private estate wedding — chapel, gardens, marquee and accommodation inside one set of gates.
