Our Love Story
On 22 February 2020, Jayne and John first laid eyes on each other at the Coolibah Hotel, Merrylands. After a year of chasing, John finally stole Jayne's heart and they officially became a couple on 28 March 2021. They moved in together and both of them knew this was a love that would last forever. To show this off to the world, John proposed to Jayne on 2 February 2023 and of course she said YES!

Eaglereach has 16 lodges in various sizes, all within 1km of the ceremony and reception area. Note they may require a minimum booking of 2 nights. Otherwise, we recommend booking through AirBnB or Stayz for appropriate accommodation in the area. Paterson Lodge looks beautiful and although Vacy Hunter Valley Lodge is close, it is very basic.
