About this Space
During the COVID-19 pandemic, please refer to the Department of Health WA for up-to-date advice on restrictions of public gatherings.
Overlooking the river with stunning views of the city, Goolugatup Heathcote Reserve (pictured) is a unique location perfect for your special day. Wedding Ceremonies are the only booking we take for the Reserve.
A maximum of 100 guests is permitted, but we recommend 60-80. This is a busy location, which can sometimes make parking difficult. There is very limited shelter at Goolugatup Heathcote Reserve so we recommend hiring our Mandoon Helena Building as a backup for your ceremony in the unfortunate case of bad weather.
Goolugatup Heathcote is also home to Goolugatup Heathcote Gallery, artist studios, workshop spaces, a world class restaurant and a popular children's playground. More information about Goolugatup Heathcote can be found at www.heathcotewa.com.
Goolugatup Heathcote Reserve viewings are available by appointment during office hours (subject to availability). To arrange a viewing or to speak to someone about your booking, please contact Goolugatup Heathcote Gallery on 9364 5666 or message us on SpacetoCo.
