Dinner, drinks and events under the festoon lights
Conservatory Terrace brings events out into the estate, with the gardens on one side and the Lodge forming the backdrop to the space. By day, it works for outdoor networking, team activities and product displays. As the light drops and the festoon lights come on, the terrace shifts naturally into drinks, dinner or an evening celebration.
For conference groups, it offers a genuine change of scene after a day indoors. For private events, it creates the kind of setting that feels distinctly Yarra Valley, with seasonal food, local wine and the surrounding gardens all part of the evening.

After a Day of Conferencing
The Conservatory Terrace gives planners somewhere very different to take the group once the formal agenda is finished. Drinks can begin outside before moving into dinner, or the terrace can become the evening venue itself, with long tables, local produce and Yarra Valley wines setting the tone.
For residential conferences, guests can stay onsite after the event and wake to the estate the following morning, with breakfast at the Lodge before the next part of the stay.
Product Launches and Outdoor Events
Vehicle access makes the terrace particularly useful for car launches, product displays and brand events that need more than a standard function room. The open-air setting allows the product to become part of the event itself, with the Lodge and gardens providing the backdrop rather than a traditional exhibition space.
Weddings on the Terrace
For weddings, the Conservatory Terrace can move from ceremony or pre-dinner drinks into an outdoor reception as the evening settles in. The adjoining Conservatory gives couples an indoor option alongside the terrace, while onsite accommodation means guests can stay at the Lodge once the celebrations finish.
