A 76-YEAR-OLD HALL, REBORN
Where the farm meets the clouds
Montara Hall is a private wedding venue on Beechmont in the Gold Coast hinterland, set on a fifth-generation dairy farm with views across the Scenic Rim.
Built in the 1940s and lovingly renovated in 2024, Montara Hall sits high on Beechmont looking out across the Scenic Rim. The hall has held more than seven decades of love stories, dances and community nights.
Step out onto the festoon-lit deck as the sun drops behind the ranges, with the fire pit glowing and the farm's cows and goats wandering past. It feels a world away, yet it's only half an hour from the coast.
