About Rocklea Farm

This historic working farm seamlessly combines rustic, farmhouse-style aesthetics with a modern, elegant renovated barn, manicured lawns, and a vibrant front bar courtyard space. Catering to everything from short micro-weddings to extended 8 hour grand celebrations of up to 150 guests, the versatile property features multiple stunning ceremony backdrops and a fully set-up, undercover wet-weather ceremony marquee for total peace of mind.

Designed for ultimate flexibility, the venue empowers couples with complete DIY and BYO freedom alongside comprehensive, built-in value and professional support. Clients benefit from dedicated planning meetings, an expert on-day coordinator, and a dedicated night manager to ensure everything runs flawlessly from start to finish. With extensive furniture inclusions, optional in-house bar services, and a proudly pet-friendly policy, every detail is tailored for a stress-free milestone.

Beyond the main event spaces, guests can easily extend their celebrations by staying in ten luxury on-site glamping tents, offering a peaceful overnight retreat complete with an outdoor bonfire or cozy indoor fireplace. Rocklea Farm also serves as an inspiring, picturesque alternative for Geelong corporate functions, workshops, and milestone birthdays, swapping bland function rooms for a truly refreshing and unforgettable countryside experience.
