The Shearing Shed

The Shearing Shed - Wedding Venue

We see The Shearing Shed as an extension of our home, our family.


Our country charm and hospitality is at the heart of all we do and we would like to welcome you along with your family and friends.

There are so many beautiful features at The Shearing Shed, the wooden floors, the wine barrels, the bar, the fireplace, the staircase, the mixture of seating and different spaces inside the venue.

Situated on 20 acres on the outskirts of Cowes, The Shearing Shed was originally built in the 1950's. This beautiful property has been home to four generations and initially 2500 sheep were farmed here.

Set up to accommodate your wedding from start to finish no matter the time of year (or what mother nature throws your way) we are proud to offer;

THE BILLABONG - A stunning space cleverly designed to offer a secret garden in the middle of the island.

THE BARN - A building that has seen so many uses. It is amazing what you can create when you get your hands on an old hay shed.

THE SHEARING SHED - lovingly renovated to enhance its original character. There is family history in every piece of timber that creates a warm, rustic ambience. Its well thought out interiors provide a blank canvas for you to create your dream event.

Weddings are an incredible time to showcase to your family who you are as a couple and your venue creates an underlining theme for an unforgettable event that will be talked about for years to come.

Our outstanding service and experienced staff are here to create a flawless event, so that you can sit back and relax with your loved ones.

Our team of chefs are here to tempt you with their culinary delights of modern Australian cuisine and present you with local and seasonal produce.

Our unique location offers guests a private venue, easily accessible by taxi or private vehicle only a few kilometres from Cowes.

The Shearing Shed has four generations of stories to tell.

We love that we can continue to add to these stories by inviting you to enjoy The Shearing Shed as well.
