We had our wedding at Buckland estate and from the beginning Russell was so helpful with everything. We used the glamping tents and they were amazing. Not to mention the fact that our wedding weekend fell on a lockdown and Russell was there straight away to help us organise everything and accommodate all of our guests who had planned to stay the night. Can not recommend highly enough. It’s unique, stunning (at sunrise and sunset especially), fun and you have so many options for ceremony and reception and photos! We say book it ASAP because soon you will find yourself waiting years to get a date. So much value in one venue. So glad we found it! Thanks again Russell and team!

We attended a wedding at Buckland estate this weekend and it was one of the best weddings we have ever been to! The venue is stunning with beautiful scenery and rolling hills that seem to go on forever! From the moment we arrived Russel and his team made us feel welcome and were so accommodating.
The glamping tents were so cool and very comfortable. There were so many wonderful things that I’m not sure which was my favourite? From eating ice-cream on the lush green lawns while the autumn sun hung low in the sky behind us or having dinner under the stars? It was all awesome, just a magical place to visit! We will definitely be back!

If you’re looking for a serene slice of the countryside, look no further! Buckland Estate is a picturesque property, well-kept, quaint and quiet. A great place to stay if you’re wanting to escape the busyness of city life for a few days like we were. Not to mention super friendly staff that go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Will definitely be a regular getaway spot for our little family of four.

I had a 4 day (mid-week) break at Dempster Cottage on Buckland Estate recently. The accommodation was charming and very comfortable. I was particularly impressed with the views of the beautiful, historic estate from my veranda, which changed not just depending on the weather but at different times of day. Very relaxing, close to both Toodyay, Northam etc. Thank you again to my generous hosts.
Sarah
Wow! Such a beautiful venue for a wedding or event. The owners are incredibly helpful and go above and beyond to help make the event perfect. Also very convenient to have multiple on-site accommodation options for guests.

We had our wedding at Buckland Estate in October. The venue was stunning, the grounds were beautifully kept and the owners were nothing but amazing. We had access to the property for majority of the weekend and got to make the most of the incredible homestead and the views whilst preparing for our big day. This venue is the perfect combination of classy and rustic, and we would highly recommend it to anyone planning a country wedding.

Absolutely stunning location, venue and staff. I had the pleasure of attending one of my friends weddings held here and just WOW as soon as you stepped out. Highly recommended.

If you get a chance to visit – you should definitely do so. Spent the weekend here in Dempster cottage, an amazing location full of history surrounded by quiet and relaxing farmland. The best part was just sitting outside the cottage with a glass of wine, watching the birds and soaking in the atmosphere. The owners were very welcoming and happy to show us around the estate – we’ll be back very soon.

Absolutely stunning venue for a wedding. Buckland has everything you could want to have a dream wedding. We had the best time could not have chosen a better place. So many beautiful aspects to the property where no two weddings could ever look the same. 10/10 from all of us

Our wedding turned out perfect, with a few little tips and tricks from Russell the owner it was a magic day! Accomodation was great with comfy beds and pillows. The gardens were absolutely beautiful and we felt very much like we were at our own holiday home.

Russell and the team at Buckland Estate went above and beyond to ensure the estate was in perfect condition. It was really helpful to have him there to assist and the day ran smoothly with raving reviews from our 100 guests.

Buckland estate is a beautiful venue, and the hosts go above and beyond to make you and your guests feel welcome. We hired the venue for the weekend for our wedding, and it was amazing having our guests arrive the day before to spend time with them before the busy day. The rooms are beautiful and catered well to our guests, and the campgrounds are ample for every type of camping need. The hosts were highly accommodating and friendly and helped to make our special day simply magical!

Warm summer weather but cool air conditioning. Interesting historic cottage accommodation built of local stone and faithfully restored, situated near to magnificent Buckland House, part of WA’s heritage. Russell a thoughtful host. Keith H.

Dempster Cottage is situated on the ‘Buckland Estate’ and is located just 50 metres from the main building which can be seen on the website. We were given the tour and the refurbishments being made by the new owner are to the highest standards. Well worth a visit. The cottage was of the same quality inside and out and provided all the comforts of home for our short stay. We were free to roam the estate and to use the super swimming pool if we wished. We were delighted with our choice and have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation to others.
Stuart
Russell’s place is perfectly located between Toodyay and Northam. I would highly recommend the stay, no issues whatsoever.
Fred
The property is very picturesque. The cottage was well presented and very comfortable. It has very thing we needed and even a laundry. The main house is gorgeous. Prefect host, prefect for a night away or even a wedding.

Quaint cottage on a historic site… amazing staff… comfortable facilities… super peaceful and quiet location.
Thomas
Great spot, rooms were in fantastic condition and the hospitality was exceptional. Bed was extremely comfortable. Location was ideal for myself working in the area. Russell was a great host giving the fantastic history of the old homestead. Definitely worth a stay if you are in the area.
Kellie
Wow. Emma was amazing and just lovely to hear the history of the property. Daisy Cottage was more than I ever thought it would be like. Definitely coming back. There was nothing I didn’t like about it.
Benjamin
Beautiful heritage property with very welcoming hosts. We were taken on a tour of the property and learnt about its interesting history and met the friendly resident horses. Dempster Cottage was very comfortable and cosy and has a spectacular view of the rolling hills. Cant wait to go back to try some mounted archery!
Liang
It is a quiet place with fantastic facilities. It is also near the hot air balloon site and it was especially convenient to travel in the early morning. The cottage has a very nice country feel and definitely a very good experience for those who were always living in the bustling city life.
