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
- The two guest numbers on the site do not agree. The weddings page offers “an intimate wedding for 6 guests or a micro celebration of up to 15”; the property page lists “Elopements and small weddings (up to 20 people)”. 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.
- Nothing is priced. No package, per-head figure or hire fee appears anywhere, and there is no PDF on the site. 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
- NOTHING IS PRICED. There is no package price, per-head figure, venue hire fee, minimum spend or deposit anywhere on the site, and no PDF of any kind on the domain. The weddings page ends in an enquiry form and the accommodation is booked through a separate booking flow.
- THE VENUE CONTRADICTS ITSELF ON GUEST NUMBERS, AND BOTH FIGURES ARE RECORDED. Weddings page: 'an intimate wedding for 6 guests or a micro celebration of up to 15'. 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.'
