About Somerley House
Somerley House is a stately heritage country estate in the Southern Highlands of NSW, with sandstone architecture, rolling formal gardens and a grand stone terrace overlooking manicured lawns and a fountain. The venue's English-country-estate elegance attracts couples seeking a refined, timeless luxury destination wedding just under two hours from Sydney.
Receptions are hosted in a permanent marquee with crystal chandeliers, set against the backdrop of the original homestead. The marquee preserves the open-air country feel while providing the polish and weather security of a fully styled ballroom.
The heritage homestead provides on-site accommodation for the bridal party and immediate family, with additional guest accommodation available in nearby Berry and Bowral. The Southern Highlands location offers a true escape — Sydney guests describe it as feeling worlds away despite being only a 90-minute drive.
