The Old Church
A Century Of Authentic Character
Built in 1914, our church is a genuine piece of Tyabb’s history. It features original timber craftsmanship and a timeless architectural silhouette that provides an immediate sense of charm & occasion. The church is renowned for its stunning, intricate stained-glass windows. Unlike modern replicas, the space carries a soulful, lived-in charm that lends a deep sense of significance to every vow exchanged and every milestone celebrated.
While the church is historic in spirit, it offers the modern comfort of being fully heat-controlled. This ensures your guests remain relaxed and cozy during winter ceremonies or autumn gatherings, allowing them to focus entirely on the beauty of your event, regardless of the weather.
The church is a master of transformation. Its light-filled, airy interior and neutral palette make it a versatile canvas for any vision. While it is the premier choice for traditional wedding ceremonies, it is equally enchanting as a unique setting for children’s birthdays, baby showers, christenings, or intimate acoustic performances—adapting seamlessly from formal elegance to whimsical charm. Located just a few short steps away from the courtyard and barn, the church ensures your guests can transition effortlessly between your ceremony and reception without the need for travel, keeping your celebration flowing beautifully within the estate.
The Barn
A Versatile Space For Every Occasion
The Barn is defined by its unique charm and relaxed vibe, offering a rare blend of rustic elegance that sets the stage to dance the night away. The expansive interior is transformed by a permanent canopy of twinkling fairy lights, providing a warm, magical glow that highlights its authentic character. Complemented by our signature “Let’s Dance” light-up sign, the space feels both special and incredibly inviting—the perfect, unpretentious backdrop for celebrating under the lights.
Adding to this character is our signature apple crate wall, which spans the entire length of the Barn. Celebrating Tyabb’s local heritage, this textured feature serves as a versatile and customizable canvas for your creativity. It is the ideal spot for unique DIY decorations, floral installations, or personalized photo displays that allow you to make the space truly your own.
Because of its honest materials and open layout, the Barn is a master of transformation. While it is a premier choice for wedding receptions, it is a versatile setting equally suited for milestone engagement parties, whimsical children’s birthdays. Whether you lean into a rustic-chic aesthetic or a more minimalist style, the space is fully customizable to suit your vision.
Designed for effortless celebrating, the Barn opens directly onto our tree-shaded courtyard. This connectivity allows your event to breathe, giving guests the freedom to move between the energy of the dance floor and the relaxed atmosphere of the outdoor bar. By removing the barriers between indoor and outdoor spaces, the energy of your party flows perfectly across the entire estate.
Whatever the size of your guest list, the Barn is designed to be versatile enough to feel perfectly scaled to your event. It can be configured for a lively cocktail-style celebration for up to 120 guests or a more intimate, seated dining experience for 60. This adaptability ensures that the atmosphere always remains warm, connected, and focused on your guests.
The Courtyard
The Social Heart of the Estate
The Courtyard serves as the central space of The Peacock Estate, acting as the anchor that connects each of our unique areas. Perfectly positioned between the historic church, the rustic barn, and the relaxed lounge, it provides a seamless natural flow for your event. This open-air hub ensures your guests remain connected to the heart of the celebration, keeping everyone together even as they move between spaces.
Framed by mature trees that provide dappled shade, our tree-shaded courtyard is the ultimate place for enjoying the sun and the fresh Tyabb air. The fully paved surface makes it a practical and comfortable spot for guests to mingle. This versatile canvas is designed for a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere—whether guests are gathered around the picnic tables or relaxing in casual lounge seating, the space maintains the authentic rustic charm that defines the estate.
At the center of the festivities is our stylish outdoor bar, which can be booked exclusively for your event. It serves as a social anchor where guests can spend the afternoon sipping on local wines and beers from the Mornington Peninsula. This is the perfect spot to add an acoustic musician, creating a soulful soundtrack as guests enjoy a customizable alfresco cocktail hour under the open sky.
A favorite feature of the courtyard is our original wishing well and active fish pond. This charming, rustic element is a hit with guests of all ages—especially the kids, who love gathering around the water’s edge to spot the fish. It’s a nostalgic and lived-in part of the estate’s history that adds a layer of unique character to your photos and provides a fun, relaxed talking point during your outdoor drinks.
The Courtyard is designed for a free-flowing event style, removing the barriers of traditional venues. With the Barn and the Peacock Lounge just a few steps away, guests have the freedom to step out for a breath of air and a drink at the bar before effortlessly heading back to the dance floor. This compact and thoughtful layout ensures the energy of your celebration stays high and flows perfectly across the estate.
The Peacock Lounge
Your Private Retreat
The Peacock Lounge is defined by its unique heritage, where deep-toned feature walls create an immediate sense of calm and charm. A collection of vintage lounges takes you back in time, preserving the history of the estate and creating an authentic, “home away from home” vibe that is both soulful and unpretentious.
Acting as a dedicated “chill-out” zone, the Lounge offers an intimate escape from the high energy of the Barn. It provides a comfortable, cushioned environment where guests can enjoy a quiet conversation or a relaxed break, ensuring there is a space for every pace while staying connected to the event.
This versatile space serves as an ideal Groom’s Lounge for pre-ceremony prep and relaxation. Beyond weddings, it is also available for customizable intimate dinners; with a kitchen nearby, it offers the unique possibility of booking a private chef for bespoke small-group celebrations.
Located directly off the paved courtyard, the Lounge offers an effortless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. Guests can move easily between the tree-shaded picnic tables, the outdoor bar, and the climate-controlled warmth of the Lounge, ensuring the energy of the party never feels fragmented.
The Old School
Classic & Playful
The Old School is a charming, historic building that adds a layer of nostalgic character to your celebration. Its original structure has been preserved to maintain an authentic “schoolhouse” feel, providing a unique and meaningful backdrop that honors Tyabb’s heritage. It’s an ideal setting for kids’ parties, offering a storied, soulful space that is as practical as it is beautiful.
Designed for effortless entertaining, the Old School extends onto a decked space furnished with tables and chairs for a relaxed, alfresco feel. To ensure the party continues regardless of the weather, a retractable awning provides instant shade or shelter. This deck acts as the perfect bridge between the indoor festivities and the outdoor fun, allowing parents to relax while staying close to the action.
This entire zone is specifically designed to let kids be kids. By providing a safe, self-contained area for play, it ensures your event is stress-free for both hosts and guests alike. The fully fenced outdoor space serves as a dedicated play haven, featuring a cubby house, diggers, and a myriad of toys to keep little ones entertained. Complemented by picnic tables, it creates an inviting, secure environment where children can play freely, giving parents total peace of mind throughout the celebration.
