Mid North Coast Wedding Venue with Onsite Accommodation

One property. So many ways to make it yours.

Nestled near Crescent Head on the NSW Mid North Coast, between Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour, Goolawah is designed for bringing people together. With a light-filled Pavilion, open-air Courtyard, sprawling lawns, beautiful ceremony locations and onsite accommodation, everything you need is in one place.

And the best part? You get to make a whole weekend of it. With three nights and four days of exclusive hire, there's plenty of time to settle in, celebrate and enjoy the property with your favourite people.

01 / The Pavillion

Your blank canvas.

Our undercover Pavilion can be transformed to suit your celebration, with room for up to 90 guests seated or 120 standing.

From beautifully styled wedding receptions to workshops and group gatherings, it's yours to make your own.

02 / The Courtyard

Where the good times continue.

Set beneath festoon lights, the Courtyard is made for welcome drinks, canapés and mingling. Add a drinks cart, gather your people and let the space transform into a dance floor as the evening unfolds.

03 / The Lawn

Room to roam.

Set up lawn games, enjoy a drink in the sunshine or simply give your guests a little more room to spread out. A relaxed outdoor space for the moments between the celebrations.

Coastal soul. Bushland setting.

Just minutes from the laid-back coastal town of Crescent Head, Goolawah feels wonderfully tucked away while keeping the best of the Mid North Coast within easy reach.

Think beautiful beaches, rolling bushland, fresh coastal air and the kind of relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer.

It's a destination worth making a weekend of.

Onsite 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. 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.
