Braeside Homestead

We’re Braeside – a private country estate tucked into Queensland’s Southern Downs, where a heritage homestead meets 20 acres of gardens, bush and farmland. We’re not a traditional wedding venue with a set package and a run sheet; we’re a blank canvas you can make entirely your own.

Wander our grounds and you’ll find a wisteria-draped pergola that turns lilac in spring, a garden gazebo tucked among established trees, and open lawns strung with fairy lights come evening. Say your vows wherever feels right, then let the celebration drift outdoors as the light softens and the hills settle into that particular quiet that only comes with real distance from anywhere else.

Our 3 self-contained guesthouses host up to 14 people between them, meaning your closest people stay with you, not down the road. The Residence is where bridal morning nerves turn into excitement, and later, your first night as a married couple. The Homestead sleeps 10 across 5 bedrooms for family and friends. The Cottage is a cosy one-bedroom retreat for 2, ideal when you just want a quiet moment away from the noise.

We keep our weddings intimate – capped at 40 guests – and we hand the whole property to you for a minimum 2 nights. It’s your day to plan your way, and once you’re booked in, we’re happy to share our list of trusted local suppliers to help bring your vision to life.

If you’re after a wedding immersed in nature, layered in quiet luxury, and unmistakably yours, we’d love to hear your plans.

FAQ

Where is Braeside located?

We’re set in Queensland’s Southern Downs, near Stanthorpe and Warwick and around two hours from Brisbane. Twenty acres of gardens and bushland surround a heritage homestead built in 1874, so by the time you arrive, the drive already feels like part of the escape.

How many guests can we invite?

We keep things intimate, with a maximum of 40 guests. Braeside suits couples who’d rather gather their closest people than fill a marquee, and want a day that feels personal.

Is Braeside exclusively ours for the weekend?

Yes. All accommodation is booked out for your exclusive use, with a minimum two-night stay required. There’s no other wedding sharing the grounds and no schedule to work around – just your celebration unfolding at its own pace.

Where can we hold our ceremony?

Across our 20 acres of gardens, there are several beautiful wedding ceremony locations to choose from, including a wisteria-draped pergola, a garden gazebo tucked among established trees and open lawns. Once you’re booked in, we’ll help you find the spaces that suit your vision.

Where do we and our guests stay?

Between our three self-contained guesthouses, we can house up to 14 people on-site. The Residence is a luxurious country home, ideal for bridal preparations and your first night as newlyweds. The Homestead sleeps 10 across five bedrooms, perfect for family or friends. The Cottage is a cosy one-bedroom retreat for two, a quiet spot away from the group when you need it, or a space to host another couple within your group.

Do you provide wedding planners or suppliers?

Braeside doesn’t provide an onsite wedding planner or wedding suppliers and staff. It’s your day to plan your way, and once your booking is confirmed, we’re happy to share our list of trusted local suppliers to help bring your vision to life.

Can we style the space ourselves?

Absolutely. Your booking includes the property’s outdoor spaces, gardens, lawns and guesthouse surrounds, and you’re welcome to style these areas to suit your day, within agreed guidelines.

Are there any additional fees?

A service fee applies to cover additional cleaning, garden maintenance and property preparation, on top of your accommodation booking. Please reach out to bookings@braeside.com.au for more information.

What makes Braeside different from a traditional wedding venue?

We’re not built around a fixed package. Braeside is a private, heritage-listed estate where you shape the day – from the ceremony spot to the styling to the suppliers – so what you end up with is a wedding that’s genuinely, unmistakably yours.
