Caoura Cliffs is a private 1,100-acre property in regional New South Wales, created for brand activations, corporate gatherings, wellness retreats, content productions and experiences that require an extraordinary sense of place.
More than a venue
Most venues hand you a room, a run sheet and a loading dock. Caoura Cliffs hands you the whole property: 4.5 kilometres of Shoalhaven escarpment, open country, bush tracks and farm roads, a glass Pavilion on the edge of the gorge, and a restored Homestead behind it. Exclusive use is standard, so for the length of your booking there is no other guest list and no shared sightline.
That changes what you can design. A guest experience doesn't have to happen in one space at one time — it can move. Guests can arrive through open country at first light, gather at the cliff edge for a Welcome to Country or a piece of storytelling, spend the middle of the day with an installation or a program set in the landscape, come back to a long table inside the glass, and, for the people who need to be there at 5am the next morning, stay on at the Homestead.
The land does a great deal of the work. Weathered sandstone, stands of old gums, mist lifting out of the gorge at dawn — it reads as unmistakably Australian on camera and in the room, without a single piece of set dressing.
The cliff line
4.5 kilometres of escarpment, high above the Shoalhaven.
The Pavilion
An all-weather operational base with 270° of country around it.
The Homestead
Twelve beds on the property, for the people who need to be here early.
What the property hosts
Every booking is shaped around its own brief. These are the formats the property is most often asked for.
Reveals, immersions and media programs staged across the property, with the Pavilion glass as a canvas and open country as the backdrop.
Strategy days and leadership programs with the phones out of reach — an AV-ready room, and 1,100 acres for the conversations that happen between sessions.
Movement, breathwork and recovery programs that take the whole property, with the cliff line for sunrise and the Homestead for facilitators.
Hosted days built to be photographed, where the location earns the post rather than the styling.
Escarpment, bushland, open paddocks, farm roads and architecture inside one fence line — and weather that gives a crew something to work with.
Drive programs and vehicle presentation on private internal roads, staged on the lawns and terrace around the Pavilion.
A single long table inside the glass, a commercial kitchen behind it, and the gorge doing the rest.
Programs that need more than a day, with onsite accommodation for a core group and partner accommodation nearby for the rest.
Formats, inclusions and production requirements are quoted against your brief. Nothing here is a fixed package.
The property as a journey
The property is most powerful when an event travels across it. This is the shape many programs take — a starting point to design against, not a fixed itinerary.
01
Guests turn off the road and travel in through open country — a few minutes of paddocks, gums and gravel that does more to reset a group than any welcome desk. Coaches come all the way in, so arrivals can be staged and timed rather than trickling through a car park.
02
A sandstone ledge above the Shoalhaven, and a natural place for the quiet part of a program: a Welcome to Country, a piece of storytelling, a performance, a founder's opening, or simply a few minutes where nobody says anything at all. At first light it is the strongest thing on the property.
03
The middle of the day belongs to the country between the cliffs and the Pavilion. Brand installations, wellness sessions, creative activations, drive routes, guided exploration, photography — spread across open paddocks, bush tracks and private farm roads, with room to keep separate things genuinely separate.
04
Everything comes back to the glass. Presentations, dining, entertainment and the moment a group finally sits down together — inside an architectural space that never stops being connected to the landscape, and never depends on the forecast.
05
Twelve beds on the property, for talent, speakers, facilitators, senior leadership or the production leads who need to be on the ground before anyone else. The difference between a 4am departure from Sydney and breakfast on the property.
The Pavilion
The Pavilion is the one part of the property that doesn't care about the weather. Floor-to-ceiling glass opens to 270° of escarpment, seats around 120 guests, and works as plenary room, showroom, studio and dining room across a single day without anyone rebuilding it.
Behind the room, it is built to be operated: a commercial kitchen, a three-metre green marble bar, proper bathrooms, AV and Starlink internet. Production access runs to the building itself, and the terrace and lawns extend the space outdoors when the day allows.
Specialist production, staging, additional power and streaming can be arranged through our suppliers and confirmed during planning. Our no-fire policy applies over summer (Dec–Feb) and we follow local fire bans year-round.
The Homestead
The Homestead sleeps up to 12 people on the property. It isn't hotel accommodation and it isn't sold by the room — it's part of the experience, and for a production team it is a practical advantage.
It means a 6am call time is a walk, not a convoy. It means talent and speakers arrive rested and already inside the landscape. It means facilitators can hold a room until late and still be first up. And it means the people running the program have somewhere private to prepare, reset and talk between sessions.
For larger crews and guest lists we partner with accommodation nearby in Bundanoon and can arrange transfers to the property each day. See where to stay for the wider picture. Where to stay.
How we work
We work directly with agencies, producers and internal event teams, and we'd rather start with the creative brief than a floor plan. What are you making, who is it for, and how should people feel by the end of it?
From there we work through the guest journey, the production requirements, transport, catering, accommodation and how much of the wider property the program needs. The detail gets confirmed during planning, in writing, before anyone commits to a schedule.

Location & logistics
Tallong, in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales — around two hours from Sydney and two hours from Canberra.
Producer questions
The property is at Tallong in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, around two hours from Sydney by road and roughly two hours from Canberra. It's sealed road to the gate, then private internal roads through the property.
Brand activations and product launches, corporate retreats and leadership offsites, wellness retreats, media and influencer events, film and photography productions, automotive and lifestyle experiences, destination dining and multi-day private gatherings. Because the whole property is held exclusively, most formats are a question of the brief rather than the room.
Approximately 120 seated guests, with 270° views through floor-to-ceiling glass and a wraparound terrace and lawns alongside it. Larger outdoor formats are assessed against the brief and confirmed during planning.
The Homestead sleeps up to 12 people on the property — most often used for talent, speakers, facilitators, senior leadership or production leads. For larger crews and guest lists we partner with accommodation nearby in Bundanoon and can arrange transfers to the property each day.
Yes. Early bump-in and early guest arrivals can be arranged, subject to the agreed event schedule. Having up to 12 people already onsite at the Homestead makes a dawn call time considerably easier to run, and first light over the gorge is one of the strongest moments on the property.
Yes. Multi-day access to the wider property can be arranged where agreed, and has been used for programs running across several days. The scope of access, locations and timings is confirmed in writing during planning.
Yes. Coaches and production vehicles come into the property and up to the Pavilion itself, so arrivals can be staged and builds aren't carried in from a car park. We walk your production team through access, routes and timings on a site visit.
The Pavilion is an all-weather architectural space, so it is the wet-weather plan for most programs — dining, presentations and gathering all move inside without rebuilding the day. Every outdoor element is planned with an indoor alternative during planning.
Yes. We can introduce you to caterers and suppliers we work with regularly across the Southern Highlands, and the Pavilion has a commercial kitchen and bar for them to work from. Final catering and supplier arrangements are confirmed during planning.
Yes. The escarpment, bushland, open paddocks, private farm roads and the Pavilion have all been used for campaign and editorial productions. Which locations are available, and on what terms, is confirmed against your brief and schedule.
Send us the brief through the form on this page and we'll come back to you to arrange a private site visit or location scout. Recces are walked with us so your team can see access, distances and the light at the time of day your program actually runs.
