Testimonials

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for what was the most perfect day for David and I. It was truly magical. The Secret Suite is to die for, probably helped somewhat by the sublime weather we had that day. The photographer Katherine from Nova Photography was amazing and has captured the day beautifully. Caroline’s bouquet was stunning and everyone at Gara Rock was just lovely. We had the best day EVER!

We had an amazing time and we are both grateful for your hard work, particularly helping with the setup of the room – it looked amazing – and making the wedding day run so smoothly. Everyone had such a fantastic stay thanks to the Gara team. Phil and I can’t wait to come back next year!

We wanted to say a huge thank you to you and all the team at Gara Rock. To say we were impressed is a huge understatement. Every part of our stay was perfect. Thank you again for sourcing some mussels for the evening meal even though they were not on the menu. Those little touches really do make the place stand apart from other locations we have visited previously. We hope Gara Rock goes from strength to strength and that the weddings continue. We will certainly be back next year for our anniversary, fingers crossed with small person in tow! Again, a huge thank you from us both.

We loved our time at Gara Rock, and are really grateful for all your help in the planning of the big day and making sure that everything went smoothly during our stay. We really appreciated everything you did, from moving the flowers up to the restaurant to removing a sword from Sebastian during the ceremony! We look forward to returning to Gara Rock one day to celebrate an anniversary.

Our wedding weekend at Gara Rock was nothing short of spectacular. The venue, for one, is stunning. If you’re looking for somewhere special with an amazing team behind it – this is it. We were blessed with incredible sunrises and sunsets, as well as calm, frosty seas for refreshing swims. All of our guests (and ourselves) were blown away by the high level of detail in each and every room. You really can’t beat accommodation like this (especially with the spa facilities too). Joe, Pete, Marika and the whole team – thank you for everything. You told me it would run like clockwork, and it did. From the finer details to the big stuff – the staff executed the whole weekend perfectly. When our DJ got stuck in the snow and couldn’t make it, they wasted no time in finding us a great replacement. The food and drink were delicious (thank you for the endless supply of cocktails!); the staff were super friendly and helpful, and the whole atmosphere was just perfect. We wish we could relive it all again and can’t recommend a more special venue to get married.

From the moment we arrived for our wedding weekend at Gara Rock, we were greeted by stunning coastline (with clear, sunny skies!) and the brilliant team at Gara Rock who really couldn’t do enough for us and our guests. Aside from how beautiful our big day was, the prevailing comment from all our guests was how amazing and attentive the staff were – nothing was too much trouble. The ‘exclusive use’ of the hotel makes you feel like you’re tucked away in your own private beach house with all your close friends and family – a truly memorable and fantastic experience. Our big day ran seamlessly, even better than we had imagined, with delicious food and drink and an amazing party to finish off the day. We know this would not have been possible without Joe, Marika and the team at Gara Rock, so thank you all so much for your hard work. We had a spectacular weekend and wish we could do it all over again!
