and stained glass of All Saints Chapel
by the water on Catseye Beach, surrounded by panoramic views on One
Tree Hill, and on the world’s most
beautiful stretch of sand on Whitehaven Beach. Reception venues are
equally varied, from formal dining at
a restaurant by the Marina to tropical
informality by the Main Pool or under
the palms in a beachfront marquee.
All Saints Chapel is located hillside
overlooking gorgeous Catseye Bay on
Hamilton Island - Australia’s favorite
wedding destination! The All Saints
Chapel is non-denominational, which
means ceremonies of all religions including Catholic, Uniting, Anglican
and many more are welcome.
Over 400 happy couples choose to
be married on romantic Hamilton Island every year, with more than half
of those couples choosing the intimacy of All Saints Chapel to host their
ceremony.
Hamilton Island also welcomes
new world-class facilities with the
newly opened Hamilton Island Golf
Club, the architectural wonder that
is the multipurpose Hamilton Island
Yacht Club and a host of new or refurbished hotels and resorts that set
the standard for Great Barrier Reef
accommodation.
BOMMIE RESTAURANT
THE BOMMIE RESTAURANT takes its
name from the shallow, isolated and
colourful reef patches found in the
waters surrounding Hamilton Island.
Short for the Australian Aboriginal
word ‘bombora’, these ‘bommies’
provide a haven for tropical fish to
feed and play, but also present a
challenge to yachtsmen, who must
remain vigilant to their presence.
Taking inspiration from the natural
beauty of the marine environment,
we present you with the Bommie restaurant. The carefully prepared local
produce and individual attention to
your experience aims to complement
the sublime beauty surrounding you.
