Our History

Est.1892

Glenrock was originally part of 'Tenterfield Station', an iconic local property, which was subdivided in 1901. It is now a 100 acre working farm, which has been home to many families since that time. Chris and Annie Jones, purchased 'Glenrock' in May 2016 from Peter and Carolyn Robinson, a well known garden designer. It was Carolyn, who originally designed and developed the beautiful gardens here over a 25 year period. Many Tenterfield residents have worked/helped and had input into the gardens and all have fond associations with this beautiful venue.

The house was originally a cottage of four small rooms and dates back to 1892. It was Chris and Annie who poured their heart and soul into the property infrastructure and carried out much of the heavy lifting to create what is the modern day ‘Glenrock Gardens Estate’. Much more than the beautiful gardens establish by Peter and Carolyn, it is now considered an exclusive events facility that is unmatched in the Granite Belt.

Extensions and additions have occurred over the last 25 years and in fact, more recent renovations have been done to The Cottage (2017), a complete rebuild of the Main House (2019), the opening of The Nursery (2020) and the grand opening of “The Barn” (2022).

Glenrock Gardens is undergoing the next iteration of its history under new ownership. Emma and Matt are re-opening to the public from March 2025 and look forward to sharing the property with everyone.
