Preston Manor
About
Overview & Vibe
Preston Manor stands on Preston Boundary Road at Top Camp, fifteen minutes from Toowoomba, set against the mountain ranges of the Darling Downs with endless views west across the slopes of the Great Dividing Range.
Setting & Style
The property has been recently and thoroughly revitalised — a facelift that preserves the historical fabric while bringing in colonial elegance and modern amenity, so the old and new sit together rather than competing. Majestic Canary palms give it a subtropical edge that most Downs properties do not have. Four spaces carry the day: the Manor itself, crafted for comfort and showing the Australian bush through its windows; the Pavilion, with covered outdoor seating so the ceremony runs regardless of weather, and from which guests transition into the Manor for a seated dinner; the Lawn, framed by the Canary palms and gardens for a relaxed ceremony or reception; and a chapel steeped in a century of history.
Ideal For
Couples wanting a restored colonial manor with a weatherproof ceremony pavilion and a genuine century-old chapel.
The Need-to-Knows
- Four spaces: the Manor, the Pavilion, the Lawn and the Chapel.
- The Pavilion's covered seating makes the ceremony weather-independent.
- Recently revitalised and taking bookings for 2026 onwards.
- Pricing is quoted on enquiry.
Standout Feature
A century-old chapel and a colonial manor on the same property, with Canary palms framing the lawn.
