Purnella Park Coachhouse is one of the Fraser Coast's most cherished wedding and event venues—an award-winning destination nestled on 10 acres of scenic countryside just minutes from Hervey Bay. With its elegant ceremony pavilion by the lake, spacious reception areas, and beautifully kept grounds, it's a place that's hosted countless special moments and continues to attract couples and event-goers from near and far.
Now offered for sale, this property presents a rare opportunity to blend lifestyle and livelihood in one unique setting. With two separate homes on site, there's flexibility for hosting guests, accommodating wedding parties, or simply enjoying a peaceful rural escape while running the venue. The business is fully operational, with forward bookings, a strong local reputation, and everything in place to step straight in.
The real opportunity lies in the untouched 5 acres at the rear of the property—currently set up as two paddocks with dams, but full of potential. This space invites bold thinking: expand the venue with eco cabins, create glamping experiences, or build boutique accommodation to offer guests a complete weekend escape. With the hard work already done up front, this is your chance to take an already successful business and elevate it to an entirely new level.
