Is this for you?

Eaglereach is for you if you...

Want your people around you for the whole weekend

Arrive together on Friday and wake up on Sunday still surrounded by everyone you love. Nobody leaves early, nobody drives home.

Want to say it in the wild

A ceremony in the gums, on the clifftop with the ranges behind you, or sunset vows on the deck. The kangaroos usually turn up.

Would rather the food came from a chef than a function menu

Sprout Catering is owned by your hosts. Jacqueline won the Josephine Pignolet award and cooked in London with Gordon Ramsay and at The River Café.

Want the whole place, not a room in it

Exclusive use of the property. One wedding, and the run of 640 acres of wilderness reserve.

The ceremony

A clearing in the gums, the clifftop, or the deck at sunset

Fifty timber chairs, the arbour and a signing table are set for you. Choose the bush, the lookout over the valley, or sunset vows on the deck.

Pre-dinner drinks over the valley, then the fire under the stars

The large timber deck looks out over the bushland for sunset drinks. Later, the outdoor firepit is where the weekend settles in.

Meet the owners

Hi, we’re Jacqueline and Tom

We own Eaglereach and we own Sprout Catering, so the people who cook your wedding dinner are the people who own the place. Jacqueline won the Sydney Morning Herald’s Josephine Pignolet award, ran the kitchen at a two-hat restaurant, and cooked in London with Gordon Ramsay and at The River Café before we came home to the hills above the Hunter.

We built the weekend format because the best part of a wedding is never just the ceremony or the photos. It’s the moments in between: laughing with friends on the deck, sitting by the fire, waking up the next day still surrounded by everyone you love. On the day itself, Bec and Aleisha run it with us.

Pick a time below and we’ll call you: about your date, your numbers, and which of the lodges suit your crowd.
