Mt Duneed Estate - Waurn Ponds, Victoria

Emma T.

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue than Mt Duneed Estate for our wedding in March! From start to finish, everything was taken care of, making the entire process so smooth and stress-free.

The space itself was absolutely stunning, and we didn’t even need to spend money on flowers because the venue’s natural beauty spoke for itself. We were able to transform it exactly how we wanted, making it feel personal and special to us. Plus, they were able to accommodate any type of weather, so we felt completely at ease no matter what the forecast was!

The food was also perfect! Our family and friends haven’t stopped raving about it, they loved every bite, and we’ve had so many compliments on how delicious everything was. The quality and presentation were top-notch.

A huge shout-out to Emma, our coordinator, who was amazing throughout the entire process. She made sure everything ran seamlessly and was always there to answer any question, offer advice, and help us create the day we’d envisioned. We honestly couldn't have pulled it all together without her!

If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with fantastic food and an incredible team that goes above and beyond, Mt Duneed Estate is the place to be!

The accommodation was fabulous. The rooms were tastefully decorated, and were very comfortable. We had a 2 night stay. The breatakfast hamper was delicious and was plenty for the 2 days, plus the wine and cheese platter was a perfect combination. These little touches made our stay very enjoyable. The outdoor bath was a lovely extra touch, and did get used as the weather was very warm. The onsite restuarant was very nice, and the food we found to be very fresh and delicious, I could not fault the food and the staff. Kate, the Manager of the restaurant and cellar door, was exceptional. She went out of her way to assist us with any enquiries, and was always on hand if we required.

We want to extend our thanks to the amazing team at Mount Duneed Estate for giving us the absolute pleasure of hosting our wedding at this magical venue.

From our first visit when we met Christine, we just knew Mount Duneed vibed with us and was the perfect choice! From the vineyard and olive grove, to the elegant Barrel Hall, we knew our special day was going to be phenomenal!

A huge part of what made our day so seamless and special was our incredible wedding coordinator, Emma. From the very beginning, Emma was attentive, warm and genuinely invested in making sure every moment was perfect. Emma (and the whole team at Mount Dunned) throughout the whole process were so accommodating and full of ideas to make the day perfect
On the day itself, the whole team was incredible - extremely organised and had everything running like clockwork – we didn’t have to worry about a single thing.

Stepping into the venue and seeing everything set up, made both of our hearts melt. The ambiance was warm, romantic, and effortlessly beautiful – even better than what we could have dreamed of!

Our guests are still raving about the food, the atmosphere, and the service. We couldn’t imagine a more perfect place or team to help us celebrate our big day!

If you're considering Mount Duneed Estate for your wedding – do it. And if you're lucky enough to work with Emma, you’re in the very best hands.

Thank you so much to the whole team at Mount Duneed Estate for making our wedding unforgettable!

Arrived late afternoon, cold and raining after a 7 hr drive. Was informed that they couldn’t find a booking for us. I had booked through a 3rd party and had printed off the booking information. Bec who is in charge of the accommodation came in from home and spent sometime trying to sort things out for u. It turned out that our booking had been cancelled by the 3rd party some weeks earlier after they had sent me the conformation email. The service and the professionalism from Bec was well above and beyond expectations, not only did she organise a room for us late minute but also contacted the 3rd party on our behalf. The service from all staff while we were there was outstanding, nothing was too much trouble. An excellent set up from the estate itself to the accommodation pods, clean, comfortable, all the amenities needed in the room (kitchenette, breakfast inc fresh baked bread) . They even made us cappuccinos every morning. Overall Bec and staff can be proud of the way they conduct themselves and the way they looked after us at a very trying time. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!

We broke up a road trip between Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road by stopping here for lunch. Absolutely beautiful restaurant and location and the food was delicious, especially for the very reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

This has to be the most luxurious experience on the Victorian coast which includes a top winery as an extra bonus. The hospitality from the staff was 10 out 10. The accommodation was OUTSTANDING! The house baked bread was delicious! Loved it

Staying in the secluded cabins was just perfect, very tranquil, peaceful location with amazing vineyard and countryside views. Sitting on the balcony overlooking those views, enjoying the breakfast provided in the morning and the cheese platter in the evening was just breathtaking. The best therapy anyone could ask for from our hectic busy lifestyle - the pause we both needed.
