Accommodation
Emmaville is a very small town, so we've done the hard part: every room at the Club Hotel is reserved for the wedding, Friday to Sunday, and there's one set aside for you.
The Club Hotel, Emmaville
A classic country pub on the corner of O'Donnell and Irby Streets, right in the middle of town. It's where the bus leaves from on Saturday, and where Ellen and Jono will be having dinner on Friday night — feel free to stop by for a meal or just to say hello. The kitchen serves meals seven days a week.
Rooms are simple and clean — singles, twins, doubles and a family room with a king bed and bunks. Most rooms share bathrooms; the two ensuite units are the exception.

Camping at Ben's Falls
If you'd rather wake up by the river, there's camping on the property at Ben's Falls Retreat. Sites are unpowered — bring everything you need, including water. It's a beautiful spot and it means no bus to catch at the end of the night.
Camping needs to be requested in advance so a site can be reserved for you and your hotel room released to someone else. Tick "camping" on your RSVP and we'll sort the rest.
Elsewhere nearby
Tattersalls Hotel, Emmaville
The other pub in town, at 88 Moore Street opposite the Mining Museum. Ten rooms with shared bathrooms. A five-minute walk from the Club Hotel, so the bus is still easy.
Emmaville Caravan Park
On Park Street, next to the town pool. Powered sites for caravans and campervans, and a short walk to the pubs. Phone ahead to book.
Deepwater
About 35 minutes east on the New England Highway — a small town with a pub, a bakery, a brewery and some accommodation. A good option if Emmaville is full, but note there's no bus from Deepwater to the wedding; you'll need to drive or arrange a lift.
Glen Innes
The nearest proper town, about an hour south, with motels, supermarkets, fuel and a pharmacy. Practical rather than romantic — and again, you'd be driving to the wedding.
