About

We welcome you to Bunnyconnellen, a high country farm with history as a dairy and sheep farm, as well as an olive grove and vineyard, stretching back to the 1800s. Today, Kate and Oliver offer Bunnyconnellen as an exclusive setting for bespoke country weddings.

Couples who marry here are guaranteed exclusive use of the expansive site, including charming onsite accommodation in both the homestead and a cottage.

Photographers rate Bunnyconnellen as a favourite with its endless country backdrops, from historic farm sheds, famed gardens, century-old Moreton Bay figs, the lake (complete with row boat) and the rolling hills of the sheep farm.

The history of Bunnyconnellen 

Originally selected for dairying in 1878 when the area was resumed from Gowrie sheep station, “Hillview” was taken up by Frederick and Carolyn Swain, whose family worked the farm for around 60 years. Littletons, Pukallis’s, and Roberts families continued dairying until the mid 1990’s, when the property was purchased by the Simmonds and then the Stewart-Moores.

Today, Bunnyconnellen is one of the Darling Downs most sought-after function and events venues, offering a tranquil setting and beautiful country views.

Harley Benyon-McVeigh

“What an amazing venue! The service is beyond exceptional and words can not describe how amazing Kate and her team are! If you need a wedding venue or a venue for anything at all, Bunnyconnellen is the place”.

Candice Mathie

“What a lovely little oasis this place is. A sweet and welcoming venue, filled with olive and other fruit trees, vegetable and display gardens and bosting plenty of spaces to relax and take in the scenery.”

While we do have an amazing indoor dancefloor, most of our couples opt to hold the after dinner party in our beautifully lit Fig Tree Garden - and can you blame them?
Our dancefloor courtyard is currently under construction to bring you a new and improved outdoor dining and dancing experience - just in time for our Spring season 💃🏼🕺🏻

Funnily enough, it’s actually the newest building here at Bunnyconnellen, and was built in 2014 over the site of the old milking shed as a modern replica of the building that once stood here many years ago, and has since become an iconic backdrop to Bunnyconnellen weddings.
Excitingly, this space is currently undergoing some changes and will soon be available as a second indoor ceremony area and function space for up to 160 guests - we can’t wait to share the changes with you!

Summertime is one of the prettiest times in the ga Summertime is one of the prettiest times in the garden at Bunnyconnellen. Long lazy days, sweet roses in full bloom, full dams, and fat sheep on lush pastures. 
With longer days to enjoy extra afternoon glow and an average top temperature of 27 degrees, summers in the High Country are the perfect time for a celebration.

There is still a handful of dates available for a 25/26 Summer Soirée here at Bunnyconnellen - whether you have a milestone birthday or anniversary to celebrate or are planning a wedding, reach out to our team today to see how we can help.
