House Rules

  1. Children are welcome at Rothwood. However, it is your responsibility to see that they are supervised at all times. Strictly no climbing of trees or fencing anywhere on the property.
  2. Throwing of rice, confetti or other so called environmentally friendly substances at the bride and groom, though traditional, presents a massive problem in clearing up out of the grass ready for the following weekends wedding. As an alternative, bubbles may be used. Please note the clean-up will be stopped out of the security bond if it is not adhered to.
  3. All music should be kept to appropriate noise levels. Musicians or DJs cut off time is 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays. 10pm Sunday to Thursday. No subwoofers please.
  4. No fireworks, sparklers, or open flame candle type accessories (candles can be lit in glass pillars).
  5. Smoking is allowed outside only in the area provided and the ashtrays provided must be used. Please keep in mind that nicotine is toxic to plants and cigarettes extinguished in flowerbeds and pots can kill the plants. Strictly, no smoking in the Homestead.
  6. Everything must be removed from the grassed garden area by 10am the day after the wedding unless other arrangements have been made prior. Or if it is a day only wedding, then all packing away must be completed at the end of the day.
  7. All wedding catering must be carried out off the premises and be prepared in a commercial kitchen. Our kitchen is for the use of the guests that are staying here. Extra electrical appliances will overload our electrical installation and may cause power outages on your big day.
  8. Please do not drive any vehicles on the grass areas
  9. Swimming pool use is for guests staying in the Homestead only – not for wedding guests
