About

Our beautiful 1839 convict-built sandstone church was bought a few years back in 2009 when the building was roofless and there were trees growing inside. While staying true to the church’s original aesthetic, we pieced it back together and made some changes along the way. See that steel steeple on the church? And the gap beneath it? That’s our rooftop lounge area, complete with fire pit for you to toast marshies in comfort. Plus, we’re pretty confident it’s the best old church to witness a sunset from, this side of Europe.⁠

⁠This beautiful property in St Albans, just 2 hours from Sydney and Newcastle features accommodation for 10 guests onsite in 5 separate bedrooms all with ensuites, is pet-friendly and a beautiful

More about the venue team

Hey there, I’m Steve. I bought this unique property in 2009 when the church was roofless and full of trees growing inside. We fixed this place up with a helping hand from friends, family and a bunch of talented tradesmen. After three years of building, we completed the marathon rebirth of this once-grand building, with a few additional touches. Our achievements were recognized in 2013 when we won the National Trust Best-Restored Heritage Building in NSW, an award we’re very proud of and are now so happy to be hosting
