About Yungaburra Chapel

Yungaburra Chapel is a timber chapel built in 1901, which first stood in Atherton before being moved to its site on Gillies Range Road in Yungaburra. The village sits among crater lakes, waterfalls and rainforest on the Atherton Tablelands, inland and uphill from Cairns. Inside, the chapel has its original stained glass, a high cathedral-style ceiling and timber floors. A deck runs around one side, giving guests somewhere to gather before and after the ceremony. The chapel seats up to 120 guests for a ceremony. Receptions are set up outside, with organisers bringing in caterers and hire furniture for dining on the lawn, often under a marquee. Facilities include a small kitchenette for food preparation, three-phase power, toilets and a change room. Because of the building's age, food and drinks are not allowed inside the chapel itself, and each booking must follow the house rules. Beyond weddings, the chapel is hired for christenings, baby naming ceremonies, conferences and meetings, auctions, choir performances and pop-up markets. It is not offered for rowdy birthday parties. The owners can recommend local caterers, celebrants, stylists, florists and photographers. Bookings start with a request form giving the date and type of event.
