About Auchendarroch House
Auchendarroch House is a restored heritage house on Adelaide Road in Mount Barker, in the Adelaide Hills, set in heritage-listed gardens. The building was once the Oakfield Hotel and now combines function rooms with the Oak and Iron Tavern. The Robert Charles Room is the main event space. It has sandstone walls, a fireplace, glass bi-fold doors to the gardens and a paved outdoor area, plus a private bar, restrooms and room for a dance floor, holding 150 standing or 120 seated. Smaller rooms carry the house's original details. The Ballroom seats 45 with stained glass bay windows to the terrace, the Dining Room seats 40, the Barr Smith Billiard Room and the Oakfield Room suit about 25, and Joanna's Room adjoins the Ballroom for 12. Outside, the expansive lawn and the beer garden on the top tier take up to 500 for a cocktail event, or 300 seated for a dinner under a marquee. The lawn suits team building days, birthday parties and celebrations spilling out from the Robert Charles Room. The house hosts weddings, corporate events, conferences, presentation nights and private parties. Menus can be relaxed or formal, the grounds are fully licensed, there is ample off-street parking, and use of the neighbouring Wallis Cinema can be added to a function.
