Is this for you?

Fitzroy Inn is for you if you...

Want everyone under one roof

Restored suites in the inn, the School Masters Cottage and new apartments, so the bridal party and both sets of parents can stay the night with you.

Want a plan for rain that still looks the part

Vows move to the verandah or a sitting room, and dinner is in the silk-lined Grand Marquee or the Conservatory. Rain or shine.

Want the party to keep going

At 10pm the night moves underground to the Dungeon, the Southern Highlands’ only historic late-night wedding dungeon, until midnight.

Want history in your photos

An 1836 sandstone inn, five acres of gardens with century-old oaks, a weir, a gazebo, and the famous Juliet Window from Suite 10.

The oaks, the weir or the gazebo

Under the century-old oaks, by the weir, at the garden gazebo or on the front lawn before the 1836 verandah. The verandah and the sitting rooms take it inside if it rains.

A note from the team

Welcome to Fitzroy Inn

Fitzroy Inn opened in 1836 as a traveller’s inn, and the sandstone walls of its stables still stand in the Conservatory. It was restored in 1999, and today it sits on five acres of gardens with century-old oaks in the foothills of Mt Gibraltar, Mittagong.

Everything happens here, without leaving the grounds. Say your vows under the oaks or by the weir, have dinner in the Grand Marquee, take the party down to the Dungeon until midnight, then walk to your room. Breakfast is on us in the morning.

Pick a time below and we’ll call you: your date, your numbers and the shape of your day. Then come down to Mittagong, about 90 minutes from Sydney, and walk the gardens with us.
