Elopements
Dreaming of a wedding that is meaningful, intimate, and free from stress, debt, and unnecessary fuss? Elope with us at Glenoak Cottages.
Nestled in the beautiful Upper Hunter, our all-inclusive, on-site elopement packages provide everything you need for a seamless and memorable celebration. Our ceremonies are relaxed, heartfelt, and centred entirely on you. Whether it’s just the two of you or a small gathering of up to 20 guests, your wedding day should honour the love you share and the promises you make — without the pressure, pace, and financial burden of a traditional wedding.
At Glenoak, we embrace peace, privacy, and natural beauty, creating a setting that feels both majestic and deeply personal. We pride ourselves on quality, transparency, and affordability, and we are onsite to guide and support you every step of the way, ensuring every detail of your day unfolds effortlessly.
With accommodation available onsite, there’s no rushing, no traffic, and no stress — just the comfort of settling in before and after your celebration. Spend the eve of your wedding relaxing on the property, prepare with your bridal party in a calm and beautiful setting, and then unwind together as newlyweds after you’ve said “I do.”
If you choose to celebrate with guests, we are happy to liaise with trusted local accommodation providers to assist with arrangements.
You are welcome to take a do-it-yourself approach or make the most of the wonderful relationships we’ve built with experienced local suppliers to bring your vision to life.
Celebrate your love simply, beautifully, and exactly as it should be.
Celebrations
Beyond elopements, Glenoak Cottages welcomes a range of special gatherings including proposals, birthdays, baby showers, and milestone celebrations.
The property features expansive open spaces as well as secluded pockets framed by mature trees, offering both privacy and flexibility for your event. It is an ideal setting for family and friends to come together, enjoy nature, and celebrate meaningful moments, with plenty of room for children to explore and entertain themselves.

Testimonials
We chose Glenoak Cottages for our elopement, and it was the most perfect, intimate setting we could have asked for. Everything felt so peaceful and special.
Meg and Ben were incredible. They made the entire process effortless, helped with every detail, and truly went above and beyond - even helping with our baby when we needed it. Nothing was ever too much or too hard. Because of them, we were able to relax and enjoy every moment.
Our day was even better than we imagined, and the overnight stay in the cottage itself was absolutely beautiful - such a comfortable, private and relaxing space to unwind and really soak up the joy of the day and our wedding.
We are so grateful and would highly recommend Glenoak Cottages to anyone wanting a beautiful, stress-free wedding.
