Top wedding venues in West Coast, Tasmania

A heritage shack village dating to the 1880s on the edge of Macquarie Harbour, Captain's Rest is a luxury waterfront property in Strahan that specialises in intimate elopements. Still water, rustic character, and a genuinely remote west coast setting make it one of Tasmania's most distinctive places to elope.

Built in 1901 at the height of Queenstown's mining wealth, The Empire Hotel is a National Trust-listed icon known as the 'Grand Old Lady of the West'. Its centrepiece is a handcrafted Tasmanian Blackwood staircase — carved in England and shipped back — set within a grand traditional dining room with an open fireplace. Queenstown's stark, stripped hills and deep mining heritage make it one of Tasmania's most singular wedding backdrops.

A National Trust Federation mansion built in 1898, Penghana was the home of Mount Lyell Mining Company manager Robert Sticht and sits on an elevated position above Queenstown with panoramic views over the town and Mount Owen. The Arts & Crafts property offers four ensuite guest rooms, formal lounges, a licensed wine bar, and space for events of up to 50 guests — one of Tasmania's most storied places to stay.

Set on the edge of Macquarie Harbour in the remote west coast town of Strahan, Strahan Village offers wedding experiences shaped by genuine wilderness. Exchange vows aboard the Spirit of the Wild as you glide along the Gordon River, say your vows on Ocean Beach at sunset, or celebrate in the Henty Room with the harbour stretching out beyond the balcony.

A truly unique wedding venue set in a historic pumphouse on Tasmania's deepest lake, surrounded by World Heritage wilderness.
