Regret not staying longer!

The perfect space to relax while visiting Hornsby. Our only regret is not getting to the property early to enjoy it more. Super clean. Super comfy beds and linen. Everything you could think of need in the kitchen. With bonus condiments. 10+

Very lovely and quiet

Absolutely stunning landscaping/outdoor area with just as stunning interior. Peter was very welcoming and showed us around on arrival as there was no guide/guestbook or check in instructions prior to arrival. Our stay was perfect besides my friend waking up through the night due to dust in the guest room and also receiving a “gentle” check out notification by the host arriving and walking into the home to start clean up at 10:55am. Otherwise a beautiful time spent with girlfriends

Arcadian gem

This property is absolutely stunning. Nestled in a quiet street in beautiful Arcadia, this stay did not disappoint. From the stunning grounds, to gorgeous cottage, everything was perfect. Not to mention Grada and Peter who are absolutely lovely. I would highly recommend this place!

About the host

Hosted by grada shipway

Peter and I bought Chanticleer Gardens in 2003 when it was a small hobbyist alpaca farm.
We love gardens and immediately set about turning our 5 acre rural property into an award winning English style garden. 20 years later as it reaches maturity is has become a very appealing place to come for a retreat or to host a small event.
4 years ago we decide to turn the last remaining paddocks into the rear courtyard garden and convert the barn into a Hamptoms cottage.
This has created a beautiful space to host your own wedding or small celebratory occasion or just a weekend getaway.
We converted the Barn into a two bedroom Hamptons style cottage, while retaining the barn doors so that our tree-lined avenue becomes a focal point for a wedding ceremony.
We are on the outskirts of Sydney, a 50 minute drive from the CBD and surrounded by other rural properties such as orchards and horse studs.
All events that are hosted on our property are daytime only; 10.30am -6pm and must be arranged through us first.

Why they chose this property

Beautiful English Styled acreage garden, great for photography.
Close to Berowra waters for fishing, kayaking and boating.
Fagan Park for bike riding for the kids or a picnic with friends or just a good walk on the bitumen tracks.
At least 8 great restaurants in the near vicinity.
Horse riding and the Golden Ridge animal farm to visit.

What makes this property unique

"Bridal Preparation" and "First Look" package.
As the Wedding Preparation can be a mini event in itself, we decided to offer a package that includes a small function for family and the bridal party the night before as well as access for multiple visitors throughout the day of the wedding.
Chanticleer Gardens is a great space to prepare for your wedding day and The Pre-Wedding Package includes two nights stay.
The bride and maids on the first night with access for family members, photographer, beauticians and hairdresser (up to 20 ) people onto the property to prepare for the wedding day.
The first night allows a small bbq or similar dinner function with family and bridal party.
There's room for that stretch "limo" to park and turn around.
The second night is for the wedding night with the full cottage for your honeymoon.
Only the bridal couple or 6 family guests have access to the cottage on the second night.
This doesn't allow for an after party or wedding ceremony.
Book this through Stayz with a special request.
Package $750 /per night, 2 nights minimum booking.
