A new heritage venue in the Southern Highlands with beautiful outdoor locations for wedding ceremonies, parties and special events.
Retford Park is one of the most spectacular all-seasons gardens in Australia, featuring private garden rooms and wide-open parkland spaces under towering mature trees.
Built in 1887 by the Hordern family and lavishly redesigned by James Fairfax in the 1960s, this perfectly pink Victorian Italianate mansion provides a marvelous backdrop for photos and a garden rich with atmosphere.
