THE ESTATE
A private
country escape,
made for gathering.
Leonards Hill Estate is a boutique private venue set on four acres of native bushland, just 75 minutes from Melbourne and seven minutes from the heart of Daylesford. Designed for those who want something genuinely different — a place that feels relaxed and personal, where every detail has been considered and everything that matters is already here.
Whether you're saying "I do" under the big eucalypts, hosting your team for a strategic offsite, or gathering your closest people for a milestone moment — this is a venue that holds your event with care, style, and absolute privacy.
Proudly run by El and Keith, who believe that good events come from good relationships — and that the planning process should feel as good as the day itself.

"We couldn’t recommend El, Keith and the team at LHE higher - they are all incredible. El was so warm and friendly… her communication and flexibility was fantastic… nothing was ever too much of a hassle. El worked in with our vendors to ensure a smooth day… our day was nothing short of amazing. The venue itself is absolutely stunning… well maintained. We can’t thank El and the team at LHE enough for the best day!"

CORPORATE EVENT
" Leonards Hill Estate is known for hosting elegant and memorable gatherings, and the fundraiser for The Daylesford Foundation was no exception.
With Spade to Blade providing delicious food, a local band keeping the energy high, and a dress-up camera corner adding a playful touch, it was a night to remember."
Jim Foster — The Daylesford Foundation

Everything was made easy due to the professional service offered by the owner/ manager, Eleanor Fullarton and her team. Any requests were attended to and confirmed that day via email."
