Conveniently located in Melbourne’s inner east, only 12 km from the CBD, this manor-like Chalet is isolated from the hubbub of city life by 137 acres of surrounding parkland

A fairy tale setting for your romantic wedding, the chalet’s old world charm will delight you and your guests on your special day.

By day, sunbeams filter through the arched and louvred windows to naturally light the chalet’s main reception area, the Grand Hall.


Beyond the adjoining Loggia, glass doors open onto a secluded private garden that remains a favourite choice for formal ceremonies, garden parties or pre-dinner drinks.

Evening celebrations are heavenly! The dance floor is illuminated by the warm glow from flames flickering atop wrought iron candelabra. Fairy lights sparkle from the balustrades of the two internal balconies, each perfect to give photographers elevation for a panoramic view of the whole reception area, or to highlight your night’s entertainment.

The chalet, which has operated continuously since 1928 as a preferred venue for all life’s celebrations, will accommodate up to 180 wedding guests (seated, with dance floor) or 300 for cocktails (standing). It is fully licensed until 1am and offers ample unrestricted free parking on site.

You’ll be delighted by the highest standard of food and personalised service guaranteed by Managers, Suzy and Andrew Connard.

It is indeed fitting that this Chalet is deemed an icon of social significance, much photographed and immortalised in the memoirs of a great connoisseur of middle class Melbourne, Barry Humphries.
