Weddings at Gondwana Retreat, Kuranda

A rainforest ceremony, just the two of you

Heartfelt, personal and deeply connected to nature, 30 minutes from Cairns.

The setting

Celebrate your love in the heart of the rainforest

Where nature sets the scene for an intimate and unforgettable wedding. Designed with romance in mind, our beautifully appointed private villas offer a secluded escape surrounded by lush tropical gardens and the tranquil sounds of the forest.

It's the perfect setting for couples seeking something heartfelt, personal and deeply connected to nature.

When you reserve both villas, our enchanting gardens become your private Kuranda wedding venue, with an atmosphere that needs little embellishment.

Wild Southern Cassowary at Gondwana Retreat Kuranda rainforest wedding venue

An unexpected guest

The rainforest has its own ideas

For an added touch of magic, you may even be joined by some of our local wildlife. Wild cassowaries and other rainforest creatures are known to wander gently through the grounds.

There is no choreographed backdrop quite like an ancient World Heritage rainforest, and no wedding photographer quite prepared for a cassowary strolling through the ceremony.
