The Jackson Ranch · Bawley Point, NSW
Three days on the ranch
We've got The Jackson Ranch for the whole weekend, and we want it to feel like a getaway with all our favourite people. Pizza on Friday, the wedding on Saturday, Mexican and margaritas on Sunday. We've got the food and drinks covered, so just bring yourselves.
Come for one day or all three. We'd love to see you for as much of it as you can make.

6:00 pm – 9:00 pmSaturday, 18 September 2027
The big one. We'll say our vows on the property, then it's drinks on The Greens, dinner in the marquee and dancing until 11.
3:00 pm – 11:00 pmSunday, 19 September 2027
Mexican food and a margarita bar. Come as you are, nurse the hangover, and hang out with us one more time before everyone heads home.
12:00 pm – 4:00 pmGood to know: the ranch is booked just for us, so if you're staying off site you can only be there during the times above. The bus from BIG4 Racecourse Beach runs to match them.
Thirty-seven acres, all ours
Big spotted gums, Lake Willinga through the trees and the beach just down the road. Here's a bit of what's waiting for you once you're through the gate.
After dark
Our favourite spot on the ranch. A proper western bar with dark timber and a longhorn on the wall. Expect to find us in here at the end of the night.
Pack your swimmers! There's a pool on the ranch, and the kids will be in it whether it's warm or not.
We'll have games set up around the grounds all weekend, plus heaps of space to run around, so the kids will be busy while you relax.
Where we'll head for drinks straight after the ceremony.
You can see the lake through the trees from all over the property. It's worth a wander.
The main house, with a fireplace and a big covered porch looking out into the forest.
Dotted through the trees. They're all taken by family and the wedding party this time, sorry!
Kindly reply
One form per invitation is perfect. Let us know which days you can make it and anything we need to know about food.
Got it! See you on the ranch.
Getting there & staying
101 Willinga Road, Bawley Point NSW 2539. It's about three and a half hours from Sydney, two from Canberra and twenty minutes from Mollymook.
BIG4 Tasman Holiday Parks Racecourse Beach is just down the road in Bawley Point, and it's where we'd point everyone first. We're running a bus between there and the ranch all weekend, so you won't need to drive.
The kids will love it too. There's a heated pool with waterslides, a jumping pillow, playgrounds, mini golf and a kids' club, and the beach is right there.
Book early, as it fills up fast on the South Coast.
If BIG4 isn't your thing, these are all a short drive away. The bus won't stop at these, so you'll need to drive to the ranch.
There's no public transport to Bawley Point, so you'll need to drive down.
Once you're here, we've got a bus running between BIG4 Racecourse Beach and the ranch for every event across the weekend, so nobody has to worry about driving after a few margaritas. We'll post the times here closer to the date.
Note that the on-site cabins are all taken by family and the wedding party.
Everything else
Yes, absolutely! Kids are welcome all weekend. We'll have games set up around the grounds and the pool is open, so pack their swimmers. Just pop their names and ages in your RSVP so we can sort their meals.
Swimmers for the pool, something warm for the evenings, and comfy shoes for the grass. We've got the food and drinks covered all weekend.
We'll let you know closer to the day. The ceremony is outside on the grass, and it gets chilly once the sun goes down in September, so bring something warm.
Having you there means the most to us. If you'd like to give something anyway, we'll add details here closer to the day.
Pop them in your RSVP. The venue needs everything a month before the wedding, so the sooner the better.
Of course. Just tick the days you can make in the RSVP. We'd love you there for the whole weekend, but any day you can make is great.
Just text either of us. We're happy to help with anything.
