The beautiful Greycliffe Gardens, located in picturesque Nielsen Park, is in one of the most spectacular locations on the southern foreshores of Sydney Harbour National Park. Fringed by parkland and spectacular views, these historic gardens offer one of Sydney’s best outdoor venues for an intimate garden wedding ceremony and reception.

The gardens provide a spacious outdoor area where you and your guests can sip champagne while overlooking Shark Beach and surrounding parklands.

The gardens rub shoulders with the lovingly restored Greycliffe House. This historic sandstone mansion, built in 1851, is one of the best-preserved examples of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture in Sydney and serves as an elegant backdrop to your event.

This is one of several great outdoor locations within Nielsen Park, including Shakespeares Point and Bottle and Glass Point.
