💠 About Glencara

Set on a 2,500-acre historic cropping and sheep farm near Monteagle, Glencara Cottage offers a truly unforgettable countryside escape. Nestled between Young and Grenfell, this peaceful property invites you to slow down, unwind, and reconnect — surrounded by open skies, rolling farmland, and warm hospitality.

Whether you’re planning a romantic retreat or a rustic wedding celebration, Glencara brings heart, heritage, and charm to every moment.

🏡 Glencara Cottage – Romantic Country Getaway

Originally a 19th-century shearers’ quarters, Glencara Cottage has lived many lives — first as a workers’ hut, then a café, and now a beautifully renovated couple’s retreat tucked beneath the gum trees at the bottom of the garden.

This private stay includes:

✓ One large queen bedroom with optional trundle beds
✓ Spacious bathroom with copper bath and underfloor heating
✓ Full kitchen, open-plan lounge, and board games
✓ Books, TV, and a firepit for stargazing in cooler months
✓ Access to the homestead’s pool, garden games & Rustic Maze
✓ Bicycles available for country lane exploring

Glencara Cottage is made for rest and reconnection — whether you’re curled up with a good book, cooking a cosy meal, or sharing local wine by the fire. Wake slowly to birdsong and soft morning light filtering through the trees. Take a long soak in the copper bath, pour a second cup of coffee, and wander the garden at your own pace. With no noise but nature and no schedule but your own, it’s the kind of place where time stretches and stillness feels like a gift. Every moment invites you to pause, breathe, and simply be.

💍 Rustic Weddings at Glencara

Celebrate your love in Glencara’s most unique feature: The Forever Shed — a 130-year-old repurposed shearing shed turned one-of-a-kind wedding venue. Seating up to 120 guests for a sit-down or cocktail celebration, the space offers festoon lighting, an open courtyard, and views over green crops or blooming canola — depending on the season.

Want something more bespoke? The property also offers a lawn marquee area for elegant outdoor receptions.

💍 Micro Weddings & Elopements

Not every love story needs a crowd — and at Glencara, we believe the most meaningful moments are often the simplest. That’s why we’ve created something truly special for couples wanting to tie the knot in an intimate, fuss-free way.

Our micro weddings and elopements are designed for those who want a beautifully styled, deeply personal ceremony without the stress or the hefty price tag. Whether it’s just the two of you or a handpicked group of your nearest and dearest (up to 20 guests), we take care of the details so you can focus on each other.

Enjoy exclusive use of the Forever Shed or your choice of outdoor garden setting for up to three hours, complete with a professional celebrant, photographer, bouquet, and light styling. We’ll even help you organise hair and makeup, a petite cake, and bubbles for a golden hour toast under the country sky.

Our packages include accommodation at Glencara Cottage and are perfect for spontaneous getaways or quiet declarations of love. Romantic, relaxed, and wrapped in the rustic charm of the Hilltops — it’s your day, your way.

Just bring your rings. We’ll do the rest.
