What to Look For in a Top Convention & Conference Venue in Brisbane

At Woodlands of Marburg, we believe that we are one of the best convention & conference venues in Brisbane. This is not an empty brag at all, because we run a tight ship and are very popular with both local and interstate businesses. So what makes Woodlands of Marburg such a popular conference and meeting venue?

We are in the country

Most of the conference and meeting venues in Brisbane are in the city which is busy, noisy and full of pollution. Woodlands of Marburg on the other hand, is situated in the lovely countryside near Ipswich on 250 acres of beautiful sweeping grounds. We have fabulous old Jacaranda trees and manicured gardens for you to stroll around and we even have our own winery right next door.

We have fabulous food

Our first class restaurant has some of the best chefs in Brisbane and we offer a wealth of succulent food to our customers, both to the public who drop in for an evening meal or for a light luncheon and to our convention attendees. Our seasonal menus use only the freshest local produce and we offer fine dining and casual dining.

As a top convention & conference venue, our resident chefs will provide everyone with a healthy and fabulous menu consisting of morning and afternoon snacks, as well as a hearty breakfast and evening meal, as needed.

We have history

Woodlands of Marburg was built in 1890 and our heritage listed two storey plantation style mansion is fully restored to its former glory. We offer modern facilities, a convention & conference venue and boutique accommodation that is sure to suit all of your attendees.

Our mansion has the original cedar panelling, distinctive marble fireplaces, crystal chandeliers and the original old sandstone cellar which can be used for an intimate dining experience. The estate has a rich history as a family home in the late 19th century, a rest home for missionaries in the 1940’s and as an extension of Ipswich Grammar School in the 1980’s.

Sold to the Coopers, a local family in 2002, this historic estate has been restored to its former glory and opened to the public. Filled with fabulous examples of architecture and furnishings, Woodlands of Marburg is everything you need in a top class conference and meeting venue.
