 Booval House

Booval House is a rare Queensland example of two-story Colonial Georgian architecture. It was built in the 1850's for George Faircloth & family, and was the homestead for a 310 acre 'model farm'. It is listed by the National Trust and the Heritage Act.

Booval House is a privately owned historic home and gardens. The owners live in the house, and are happy to help couples celebrate their wedding here.

The heritage gardens of Booval House are an excellent venue for wedding photographs, and garden weddings with light refreshments.

The air-conditioned restored chapel is especially suitable for smaller weddings, up to 70 seated guests. The chapel is consecrated. Other rooms such as the Drawing Rooms, with period furnishings, may be available by arrangement.

Booval House grounds incorporate a collection of horse drawn vehicles and farm implements. Open days are usually held alternate years ( 2006, 2008 etc).

"Arias at Sunset" is a special charity event each March, organized by Zonta for about 400 guests. The acclaimed Cambrian Youth Choir and talented Bundamba Salvation Army Band lead "Carlos under the Stars" on the last Saturday each November - with about 500 - 700 people present each year.

Payment will generally be by a tax-deductible donation to the National Trust of Queensland.
