Stoneridge Estate

Excellent environment and facilities, however the breakfast quality is a bit of disappointing.

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting our small, intimate wedding ceremony and canapés at this stunning estate, and it truly exceeded our expectations. Suzanne was incredibly accommodating and helpful throughout the planning process, ensuring we had everything we needed for the day. With the weather being a bit unpredictable, we appreciated having the beautiful garden as our first choice and the chapel as a Plan B. On the day, we ended up using The Hayes Room for the canapés, as the weather wasn’t the greatest. However, the setting was still just as stunning, and we couldn’t have been more thankful for the flexibility. We also had the chance to rehearse the day before, which made everything feel so much more relaxed and prepared. One of the most unforgettable experiences was being able to set off from the venue’s helicopter pad—it was truly something special and added such a unique touch to our day. We will forever cherish the memories made here!

Let me start by saying I booked this hotel based on the 5 star rating and the reviews. The hotel is beautiful, our room was stunning with a gorgeous view of lake Hayes which was wonderful to walk around. The wine and cheese of an afternoon is a lovely thoughtful touch and the onsite hot pool also very welcome. There is no gym for those staying in a lodge room. The venue has a function area and the staff are sadly more focused on that than the guests we felt. For breakfast, you have to say what time you will be down removing any holiday spontaneity. One morning we said 8am and came down at 7.45 (breakfast served from 7.30) and nothing was out and no staff to be found. I booked the private dinner for my husband and I only to be told by the waitress that she was sorry service was really slow but she was managing a function!!!! Parking is a bit of a challenge, there are no designated car parking spaces and it’s daunting to manoeuvre around the small car park. The staff are pleasant and helpful when you get their attention. My husband tried calling reception twice for details on how to check out and no answer or call back. This place has the potential to be incredible with improved service and perhaps a Nespresso machine in the room.

My partner and I hosted our wedding at Stoneridge Estate. I genuinely cannot recommend this venue for weddings enough. The venue was amazing. It was also so easy to organise an overseas wedding using the Stoneridge team. Could not recommend more.
