About

Overview & Vibe

Avalon Castle is exactly what it sounds like — a stone castle tucked into the forest at Cockatoo in the Dandenong Ranges, its ivy-clad walls and red gothic doors delivering genuine storybook drama an hour east of Melbourne. Weddings here come with turrets, fountains and century-old gums.

Setting & Style

Vows happen on the outdoor Rose Terrace with its rustic wine-barrel bar, in the timber-lined chapel glowing with LED lighting, or across the garden lawns before the castle façade. Celebrations run as exclusive-use, all-inclusive packages for up to 130 guests, with the chef tailoring menus and an in-house sound system carrying the party into the hills.

Ideal For

Couples chasing true fairy-tale theatre — castle backdrops, forest photos and a stay-the-night celebration with their closest guests.

The Need-to-Knows

Packages scale from elopements (up to 20) and mini weddings (40) to the full 7-hour package for up to 130 guests — 120 seated or 130 cocktail.
On-site stays for up to 22 guests across six rooms plus a honeymoon cottage with four-poster bed and woodfire; continental breakfast included.
Wedding coordinator through the day plus a dedicated reception coordinator; $1,000 deposit secures the date.
Pre-book return transport — rideshare coverage is patchy in the hills.

Standout Feature

A real castle in the Dandenongs — gothic red doors, an ornamental fountain and forest on every side, with the honeymoon cottage waiting when the music stops.
