Travel & Accommodation
Getting here, and staying over
Two hours north of Sydney, fifty-five minutes from Newcastle airport, and worth every kilometre.
Getting there
It's country, but not the middle of nowhere
By air
Newcastle (NTL) is a 55-minute drive from the estate, and Sydney (SYD) is just over two hours up the expressway. Cars can be hired at either airport.
Our coach from Sydney
A coach leaves Sydney's Central Station at 11:00 am on Saturday and returns after the reception. Let us know in your RSVP if you'd like a seat.
By car
Parking is free on the estate, with a short gravel walk to the ceremony lawn. Rideshare is limited out here, so please plan your way home.
