Intimate rainforest garden

The Connections Garden is our most popular site, and for good reason. The enchanting garden, with its verdant rainforest backdrop, sets the scene for a truly magical ceremony or cocktail reception.

What makes this garden truly intimate, is that it is one of the few areas at Mount Annan that can be hired exclusively to ensure privacy for your special occasion.

Perfect any time of year, the Connections Garden is the ideal spot for your reception in the gorgeous summer evenings.
