Say ‘I do’ at Goolawah

Just a stone’s throw from the magical beaches of Crescent Head, Goolawah Retreat is the ultimate destination for couples seeking relaxed luxe wedding vibes with a coastal soul. Blending thoughtful architecture with natural beauty, the retreat’s stunning pavilion sits at the heart of the property - an open, light-filled space that flows effortlessly into a charming courtyard. As day turns to night, festoon lights cast a warm glow overhead while guests gather around the fire pit, creating an atmosphere that feels both elevated and wonderfully laid-back.

ON SITE ACCOMMODATION

More than just a wedding venue, it’s a full weekend experience. With five self-contained cottages on-site, plus additional camping options, your closest friends and family can stay and celebrate alongside you. The exclusive three-night stay invites you to slow down, settle in, and savour every moment—from welcome drinks to farewell brunch.

We have 5 gorgeous self-contained cottages, each sleeping up to 6 guests which you can view here.
There is a studio attached to the pavillion that sleeps 2 — Meaning all of your guests are just steps away from a good night’s sleep.
