About Waldara

Waldara is an 800‑hectare working sheep and cattle farm near Oberon. The venue blends rustic country charm with modern amenities.

Waldara brings that proper country feel, but with plenty of space and style to match. It’s a working sheep and cattle farm that spans a massive 800 hectares, so there’s no shortage of ceremony spots. Whether you’re drawn to wide open paddocks with rolling hills or tucked-away woodland clearings, there’s room to get creative and find a setting that really suits your vibe. The reception happens in “The Barn” – a purpose-built space with exposed timber beams and string lights that give it a warm, relaxed feel. It’s a great place to kick off the party after a sunset ceremony.

A lot of couples love adding a bit of character by including the farm animals in their photos – it gives the whole day a fun, authentic country twist. Despite the rural setting, Waldara is well set up for comfort. There are two fully equipped houses on site for accommodation, and plenty of room if you want to bring in glamping tents or caravans for extra guests. And because it’s out near Oberon, you don’t have to stress about noise curfews – the celebrations can roll on well into the night. It’s a great pick for couples who want the real country experience but still appreciate having modern conveniences and a bit of flexibility in how they run the day.
