Inside Kyle Sandilands and Tegan Kynaston’s lavish 1877 wedding venue

Kyle Sandilands and Tegan Kynaston tied the knot on Saturday in a lavish ceremony on the grounds of the $100 million Swifts mansion in Darling Point.

The Grade II listed Victorian Gothic Revival estate was originally built in 1877 but underwent extensive renovation in 1997, reports real estate.com.au.

With a total of 56 rooms, most of which can be used as bedrooms, the large house has everything from an old 19th century ‘opium den’ to a tennis court.

‘There are so many interesting rooms. There’s a smoking room and the remains of an old opium den, dating back to when opium was legal,” says Dr Shane Moran, owner of Swifts, of the Moran aged care empire.

In 2016, Dr Moran told the Wentworth Courier: ‘The property is very similar to Government House in many ways. In fact, the original brief for building it was to build a house with a ballroom larger than the Governor’s.”

The opium den, now known as the Moroccan Room, was likely used to smoke the depressant drug.

Further inside, there’s a huge ballroom for star-studded social events, as well as a traditional 1870s layout with male and female mansion wings.

The men’s side features ‘lots of wood’ designs and architecture, as well as a billiards room, while the women’s wing generally contains lighter rooms.

The dining room features a long table with formal silverware and candelabras surrounded by ornate clocks and a buffet table to entertain and feed guests.

Renovations in the late 1990s added a tennis court and an eight-car garage to the three-acre property.

Meanwhile, Dr. Moran diligently maintained the Camelot-style towers and turrets of the iconic exterior design.

Sandilands, 51, and Kynaston, 37, tied the knot in a $1 million ceremony at Swifts grounds in front of 130 guests, including the prime minister.
