The Venue
Elm House is an eccentric sanctuary, on Jinibara country, in the sleepy hamlet of Mount Glorious (just 50 minutes from Magandjin/Brisbane).
Whether it’s an intimate wedding, a film or photo shoot, or a creative ticketed event, here, we blend romance with a dash of irreverence to create a setting that feels both special and down-to-earth.
With a grand banquet hall seating up to 50 guests, fireside lounge, bar and large deck, Elm House is your canvas.
Here you have the freedom to be different, to be you and to be celebrated.
Elm House is more than just a place to celebrate.
Adjoining the venue sits the Elm House Studio, a two story, hand-hewn cabin for couples to step on up to a slower, more peaceful mountain way of life…if only for a couple of days.
The perfect sanctuary to prepare for your wedding nuptials or the dream location for an easy weekend getaway.
Stay
The Gardens
Our little haven, surrounded by the D’Aguilar National Park, offers a private place far from the madding crowd.
Mountain life is an orchestra of abundant life. You don’t need to know the names of everything to understand you are in an area of rich biodiversity all year round. We are observers, protectors, revellers.
Our gardens are perfect for outdoor ceremonies and glorious photos.

Spring
Rich diversity of flowering plants burst onto the scene, the abundant bird and insect life revel in the blooms, the night air is engorged with the scent of sweet jasmine. Our wild spaces host the dance of the majestic fireflies.
-
Summer
The mountain offers a reprieve from the soaring summer temperatures. Lose 5 degrees on the way up. The many waterholes become even more inviting for the intrepid, as the rainforest keeps cool under the canopy. Warmer nights stargazing on the deck or around the campfire.
-
Autumn
The changing of the guards, the heat dies down, a slower pace begins. A time to reset and repose, the towering cedars undress, their leaves catch the breeze and cycle back to the earth.

Winter
Many people’s favourite mountain season for the opportunity to rug up and enjoy brisk mountain air. Fireside dreaming and soup weather. The wood smoke of fellow mountaineers on the breeze and clear night skies. A chance to have those conversations you've been meaning to have for a while.
