About This Venue
Howqua Lodge (previously Howqua Valley Views) is located 20 minutes from Mansfield in Victoria’s High Country and offers a charming, rustic alternative to more traditional reception settings.
We provide a relaxed wedding venue with stunning views, in addition to operating a farm stay for group accommodation in converted stables.
Wedding ceremonies are held on The Lawn overlooking the picturesque Howqua Valley, or down on The River Flat beside the Howqua River.
Our reception area, The Shed, is a large, flexible space filled with festoon and fairy lights, perfect for either a catered sit-down dinner or a casual food truck experience. There is a food servery area, bar and dancefloor. Our tables are impressive timber slabs, each unique, which can be left bare or covered as you choose. We have plenty of timber chairs available, several church pews lining the walls and the option to hire hay bales for casual seating. Wine barrels and market umbrellas are also available and guests can enjoy the warmth of the fire pits as the evening wears on. The Shed can be customised with floral decorations, fabric, furniture or anything that adds your personal touch to the day’s activities.
The Stables have been been converted to provide comfortable accommodation for 18 people in a combination of double, single and bunk beds.
The Howqua Lodge Wedding Package covers the hiring of all facilities (The Shed & The Stables) and accommodation for 2 nights. Please contact us for further information.
