This is an unparalleled opportunity for both new entrants to the industry and experienced operators and hospitality groups looking to add assets to their portfolio.

Complementing it is Black Hall, a sophisticated reception venue designed to elevate the post-ceremony experience surrounded by gorgeous gardens with a central fountain and a serene pagoda. The property also offers the rustic Barn Bar, a stylish setting for pre-reception drinks and a large manicured lawn, known as The Grounds, provides an ideal space for larger outdoor gatherings. A short walk from the chapel lies Herrmann House, a 4.5-star-rated luxury accommodation homestead. This impeccably restored building offers a romantic first-night retreat for newlyweds. Herrmann House, too, has earned acclaim, including being ranked in Australia's Top 3 Honeymoon Venues. Set within the picturesque and historic town of Kalbar, this 4000 sqm estate delivers breath-taking views of surrounding farmland and the Great Dividing Range.

The business also boasts a full-service offering, Barn Bar reception venue, large landscaped grounds including a wedding pagoda for memorable photography on the day, a vintage 1948 Bentley for bridal transportation and a 24-seat bus for seamless guest transfers. White Chapel Kalbar presents excellent development potential (STCA), with the opportunity to install a permanent structure, such as a marquee, on the expansive lawn area.
