How it all began
A little over a decade ago, a long-time local Busselton family bought a modest 100-acre farm at 213 Wonnerup South Road, Yalyalup. Back then, it was nothing more than a couple of tree-lined paddocks.
The original plan was to relocate their business here from town and build an epic shed house.
But after hosting a couple of family weddings in their backyard, an idea sparked. There was something special about the place that had to be shared.
With a 30-year stockpile of timber and materials collected from across WA, and the desire for a “hobby”, Sabina River Farm began to take shape: a venue built from stories, made for ever-evolving celebrations, where everyone feels like they’re part of the family.
