I hired this place out and as an educated person I asked what the need to have security was for, not only did I pay $90 for a security guard to sit on his phone smoking the whole time on sight !!! Where you are meant to be smoke free but yet we were told we aren't allowed to smoke on the premises ! Vick the guy who I spoke with originally was so rude and condencending that I had lodged a formal complaint with the council because of it he said to me he doesn't know why it's there and he doesn't know when it came in and replied to me " was that all" maybe you need to be educated on the rules and policies under the council before you are employed !

Secondly he came To the event to lock up and started arguing with all my guests instead of speaking to the host personally, he thought he was the greatest thing to lose all you were there to do was lock the venue your job is not that glamourous to stand there and argue with people. He had no right to do that especially because the only thing left to take out was the DJ set who he actually hurt himself before the event finished and we had to attend to him.

Seriously this guy should not be allowed to liaise with clients ! He genuinely ruined the mood...

So I have a bit of mixed feelings about Nathan Homestead. It's a bit of an art gallery 🖼 with a coffee shop inside, set in a great garden 🏡

The garden is lovely! There are benches, green lawns, beautiful flowers, and a playground for kids 👨‍👧‍👦👨‍👦‍👦

You can hire the halls, rooms, and gardens for events and weddings. It makes a stunning backdrop. They often have community functions, and markets, which should be interesting...
