Untouched history: home to six generations of one family

The Grounds

The expansive grounds at Rouse Hill offer a real ‘step back in time’ and provide a charming and historic setting for cocktail parties, lunches or dinners under a marquee. Please contact our Venue Services coordinator for more information.

The timeworn buildings, vintage farm machinery and views across the paddocks to the mountains create wonderful opportunities for photography and commercial filming.

Walls of glass bifold doors can be opened or closed to suit the weather conditions, and the spacious covered patio is perfect for refreshment breaks. It is ideal for workshops and meetings, and cocktail parties for up to 60 guests.
