"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
Private Celebration
"My 80th Birthday was a superlative event. The venue was perfect for 100 guests who enjoyed a delicious sit-down High Afternoon Tea. 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."
