Sandridge Estate
An enchanting bushland wedding venue in Tasmania’s north-west with an outdoor chapel that feels like magic.
If you’re dreaming of a bush wedding that still feels elevated and curated, Sandridge Estate might be your perfect match. Tucked away on Tasmania’s north-west coast near Boat Harbour, it’s a privately-owned property spread across 500 acres of wild beauty. Think towering gums, open paddocks, rolling mist, and the kind of peace that lets you actually hear the wind.
The crown jewel here in my little opinion? The outdoor bush chapel — a purpose-built clearing under the trees with timber pews, natural greenery, and the kind of gentle Tasmanian light that feels sacred. It’s a ceremony space that doesn’t need dressing up. You simply show up, surrounded by your people and the sounds of the bush, and get married.
Add to that their epic shed-style reception space and a full suite of on-site accommodation — this is a venue made for making memories and waking up the next day still in the magic.

Planning Tips
- Distance: About two hours from Launceston, 4 hours drive from Hobart.
- Best time of year: Spring through autumn is ideal — wildflowers, golden afternoon light, and warm enough for guests to enjoy the outdoor spaces
- Weather: It’s Tasmania — always have a wet weather backup (they do!), and layers for chilly evenings
- Accommodation: There are a handful of cabins on site, but the surrounding area has stunning Airbnb properties — book early, especially in peak season
- Sunset ceremonies: Aim for golden hour in the bush chapel — it’s magic when the sun filters through the trees
- Vendors: Bring your own, or ask the Sandridge team for local faves — the northwest crew are legends
- Transport: Consider organising a guest bus from Wynyard, Burnie or Boat Harbour — it’ll make the drive safer and more relaxed for everyone
- Accessibility: The bush chapel is fairly easy to access but chat to the venue if you have guests with mobility needs
