# Adeline Estate

> Private rural estate in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia. A blank-canvas venue for exclusive-use wedding weekends, retreats, group stays and private gatherings — with farmhouse and glamping accommodation onsite. The estate is reserved for one wedding at a time, with exclusive use for the couple's three-day, two-night wedding weekend.

Adeline Estate is not a function centre, shared venue or resort. It is a private working-style property. Couples, retreat facilitators and small groups have full creative control of the grounds, the farmhouse and onsite glamping. BYO catering and styling are welcome. Amplified music runs until 11 pm. After that the evening moves to the fire pit, which can burn late into the night. Exact timings are confirmed as part of each booking and must comply with the property's event conditions.
