About

The Old Shed

Built in 1968 as a grape-drying shed. Restored, not renovated — the scars stayed on purpose.

'The Old Shed' was built in 1968 using beams hand cut from tuart trees standing at over 4m tall and we estimate another 2m in the ground. These are combined with beautiful jarrah beams up to 10m in length for holding the structure in place. Originally used as a grape drying shed, it has undergone a major renovation over several years to become one of the most charming and unique venues in the Swan Valley region.

We have tried to keep the history of the shed intact, keeping the scars it has retained over the years. You can still see the pegs in the beams that were used to hold the drying racks. The concrete is discoloured in places because of oils and other liquids spilled over the years. Every imperfection tells a story. It has been transformed into a beautiful relaxing rustic style party shed.

The centrepiece is a magnificent 10 metre long table made from solid jarrah. Matching benches either side allow comfortable seating for up to 40 of your guests.
