Cuppacumbalong is a historic property on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River. Built in the early 1920’s the current homestead is a venue for meetings, conferences, retreats, or private gatherings with family and friends. With B&B-style accommodation and a campground, the property has something for the whole family.

The site has been a meeting place for thousands of years, with more recent history seeing it as a place for forging families and industry. Since 1850, it has played an important part in Canberra life, including hosting Queen Elizabeth II on Valentines Day 1954.

Today it is a making venue in a broad sense of the word – making with your hands, making with your team, making with your head and heart.
