About Bendooley Estate

Bendooley Estate is a heritage Southern Highlands wedding venue at Berrima, centred on the iconic Berkelouw Book Barn — a beautifully restored sandstone barn lined with bookshelves and featuring an in-house restaurant. The estate also runs vineyards and an on-site cellar door.

Receptions take place in the Book Barn or the adjacent stone-and-timber Stables. The Book Barn's signature interior — floor-to-ceiling bookshelves around a long dining table — creates a memorable photographic backdrop for the wedding party.

On-site accommodation in the heritage homestead and self-contained cottages supports a weekend-long wedding, with welcome dinners at the restaurant and recovery brunches at the cellar door.
