About Leaves & Fishes

If you're after a wedding venue that feels like a tropical escape tucked away in wine country, Leaves & Fishes in the Hunter Valley is a bit of a hidden gem. It’s got this relaxed, luxe vibe that’s perfect if you’re dreaming of something a little different—think lush greenery, open-air spaces, and that sweet spot between barefoot and elegant.

At the heart of the property is a Tuscan-inspired sunken garden, which somehow manages to feel both intimate and spacious. It’s surrounded by dense, jungle-like foliage that gives it a totally private feel, even though you're just minutes from the vineyards. You can host up to 300 guests, so whether you're planning a tipi, marquee, or full tented celebration, there's plenty of room to stretch out under the stars.

There’s on-site accommodation too: five beautifully styled boathouses that sleep up to 12 guests. They’re ideal for your wedding party or close family, and they add to that whole “weekend away” feel.
