Glenrock Farm

Gold Coast, QLD

We love the idea of stepping back in time, when the world was a little less confusing and everything was built to last. Glenrock Farm is a little bit of history that has recently opened its doors to engaged couples (and their pets). One of the region’s first dairy farms, it’s located just minutes from the beach and features a century-old barn that seats 130 guests.
