Where Your Day Unfolds

The Function Room

The Function Room

A 140sqm indoor space, air-conditioned and heated for year-round comfort with ceiling fans and a small timber dance floor. French doors open on three sides directly onto the terrace. Seats up to 90 guests for a sit-down reception or 120 for a cocktail-style event. A small music system and festoon lighting are included.

Wraparound Verandah

Wraparound Verandah

The iconic 360-degree covered verandah wraps the full perimeter of the upstairs of the house, reserved for the exclusive use of the wedding couple and their closest family and friends. Every seat commands a view — river, orange grove, rolling hills, and turf farms. The verandah extends the entertaining footprint of the property without losing its intimate feel.

Lawns & Terrace

Lawns & Terrace

Expansive terraced lawns run from the house to the river, framed by the mature citrus orchard and the Hawkesbury in the background. A large outdoor bar on the terrace serves drinks and food to your guests between the ceremony and reception. Up to 250 guests can be seated under the open sky. A marquee can be added as an optional extra for complete weather cover — ask us for referrals.

Orange Orchard

Orange Orchard

Acres of mature orange trees surround the property — a setting rarely found among wedding venues in NSW. Fragrant, textured, and entirely unique. The orchard is ideal for editorial photography, intimate ceremonies beneath the trees, or a pre-dinner walk for guests while the couple has photos done.

The Experience

Every Corner of the Property is Yours

From the wraparound verandah to the riverbank, from the orange grove to the function room — Cornwallis House gives you the entire property for the duration of your event. No roped-off areas, no shared spaces, just the freedom to make the day your own.
