About Woden Homestead Stables
Woden Homestead Stables sits on a family-run sheep grazing property off the Monaro Highway in Hume, on the rural fringe of southern Canberra. The homestead has been lived in by the same family for generations, and the land looks out to Tralee Hills and Mt Tennant. The stables themselves date from the late nineteenth century and were later home to a local riding school. Rough-cut timber, stone, salvaged boards and corrugated iron have been carefully restored, and the old stall walls still carry the names of horses that lived there. Outside, landscaped gardens, a lawn, a festoon-lit courtyard and a fire pit give guests room to spread out. Wine barrels, tables, umbrellas and gas heaters are part of the reception set-up, and there is plenty of parking on the property. The venue runs as a do-it-yourself space. You bring in the caterers, florists and other suppliers you like, and you supply your own drinks, which keeps the style and budget in your hands. Every booking is exclusive. Packages run from a short ceremony slot for up to 50 seated guests to a standing reception or a full-day Saturday wedding for up to 85, and a separate option covers engagements, birthdays and baby showers on any day of the week.
