Harveys Farm Bicheno
About
Overview & Vibe
A north-facing Hamptons-style house on five private acres at Bicheno, where the granite meets the Tasman Sea. Harveys Farm is a micro-wedding venue in the literal sense — it hosts “only a handful of weddings each year” and the whole property is yours for the weekend.
Setting & Style
Vaulted living space with an ocean view and a fireplace, a 12-seat dining table, four bedrooms and a turret with books and board games. Outside: native gardens, open lawns, a fire pit, outdoor dining, and direct walking access to the coastline over granite outcrops. Wallabies and wombats at dusk; humpbacks offshore in winter and spring.
Ideal For
Couples who want a whole-weekend elopement or micro wedding with everyone under one roof — and who would rather book a house than a function room.
The Need-to-Knows
- Both are the venue's own. Confirm which applies before counting on 20.
- The house sleeps 12 across four bedrooms and three bathrooms, so above that your guests are staying in Bicheno.
- Everything is quoted after an enquiry.
- Catering is external and curated rather than supplied. The venue works “with trusted Tasmanian vendors — from private chefs and florists to photographers and stylists”, so the food is a private-chef arrangement, not a kitchen.
- What the stay includes is published: exclusive use for the wedding weekend, a ceremony space with ocean views, long-table dining indoors or out, in-house planning support, and accommodation for the couple and closest guests.
- Freycinet National Park — Wineglass Bay and the Hazards — is thirty minutes away.
Standout Feature
Five acres of coastline to yourselves for the weekend, with the ceremony on the grass above the granite.

Price Notes
- Pricing is provided on enquiry — no package price, per-head figure, venue hire fee, minimum spend or deposit is published. Weddings start with an enquiry form, and accommodation is booked separately.
- Property page: 'Elopements and small weddings (up to 20 people)'. Nothing on the site reconciles them. Note also that an external search summary quoted 'an intimate wedding for 10 guests or a micro celebration of up to 20' - a third variant that does not appear on the venue's own pages at all and was not used.
- What is included is published even though the price is not: 'Your stay includes: Exclusive use of the property for your wedding weekend / Ceremony space with sweeping ocean views across Tasmania's East Coast / Long-table dining under the stars or within our warm, light-filled interiors / In-house planning support to help you create a relaxed, meaningful celebration / Luxury accommodation for you and your closest guests.'
- Catering is external, which is why dietary is null: 'We collaborate with trusted Tasmanian vendors - from private chefs and florists to photographers and stylists - ensuring your wedding is effortless and elegant from start to finish.' The venue supplies the house and the coordination; a private chef supplies the food. No dietary position is stated anywhere on the site.
- The house is the constraint as much as the guest list: '4 spacious bedrooms / 3 bathrooms with walk-in showers / Large open-plan kitchen with butler's pantry / Vaulted living area with ocean views and fireplace / 12-seat dining table / Comfortable lounge with generous sofas / Cosy upstairs turret with books, board games, and second TV.' Sleeping 12 against a wedding of up to 20 means some guests stay in Bicheno.
- Scarcity is part of the offer, in the venue's own words: 'We host only a handful of weddings each year - an intentional choice that allows us to offer every couple our full attention.' Worth knowing before setting a date.
- The setting is described in detail and the wildlife is part of it: 'Wildlife is part of everyday life at Harveys. Depending on the season, you may spot: Wallabies and wombats at dusk / Blue tongue lizards sunning themselves in summer / Echidnas roaming through the grass / Sea eagles soaring overhead / Humpback whales breaching offshore in winter and spring.'
