The Retreat

THE GROUNDS

The Gabbinbar gardens are over 160 years old and cover many acres of the wedding venue. The large fig, bunya and cedar trees were planted in 1863 and tower over the historic estate creating a feeling of calmness and tranquility, seamlessly blending serene indoor and outdoor spaces. These evergreen trees, combined with freshly mowed lawns, precision-trimmed hedging and seasonal blooms leave an indelible imprint that lingers in memories for years to come.
