Planning Tips
- Weather: The courtyard is beautiful but exposed — always have a wet-weather backup (they do!).
- Best time of year: Spring and autumn offer the best balance of light, warmth, and foliage.
- Sunset: Check the exact time — a sunset ceremony followed by a twilight reception on the terrace is magic.
- Parking: There’s limited on-site parking. Most guests will arrive by taxi, ride-share, or shuttle.
- Accommodation: No on-site rooms, but plenty of options in nearby Mosman and Cremorne.
- Access: The venue is somewhat tucked away — be sure to include clear transport instructions in your invitations.
- Noise restrictions: Like many heritage venues in Sydney, amplified music must end by 11 pm.
