About The Bower Estate
The Bower Estate is a family-run wedding and events property on Nerang Murwillumbah Road at Natural Bridge. It covers 120 acres of rainforest and open valley in the Gold Coast hinterland, with Springbrook National Park rising behind it. The main event area is The Ridge, a plateau overlooking the escarpment. Guests gather for drinks and canapés under the Fig Tree, which is strung with fairy lights, before moving into the clear marquee next to it. The marquee takes 150 at tables, dropping to 120 once a dance floor goes in, and comes furnished with feasting tables and oak crossback chairs. You can bring in hanging installations, feature lighting or extra furniture through stylists and lighting designers. The Bower Cottage is the smaller option, a three-bedroom farmhouse with a large deck that takes up to 100 standing guests. It also serves as the wet weather location for weddings, and up to ten people can stay there. Beyond weddings, the estate hosts birthdays from the 30th upward, baby showers, hens parties, staff parties and corporate functions. Corporate packages can pair a meal with a guided walk to see the glow worms, a yoga class, craft or bush tucker workshops, or wine tasting. You can hire the place as a blank venue, or add anything from equipment and catering to full planning. In-house coordinators liaise with caterers, florists and stylists, and private charter coaches can bring guests in and out.
