We had a pre-Xmas family function with many areas to choose from. Connie is an absolute legend in service, made us all feel very welcome and went above and beyond to make sure the experience was memorable.

Organising an event for a large group of 50 people can be stressful, especially on short notice, but the team handled everything seamlessly. The Stables was the perfect space. Bakery Brothers created a stunning custom gluten-free cake with only a few days' notice.

I booked a 50th birthday party for my mum with such short notice and the team did such an amazing job. The food was great, the event turned out better than I expected, even our guests are amazed by the venue and the beautiful outlook of the view.

We recently had our daughter's birthday here and it was the best experience. Everyone was beyond happy with their food and even all the parents were relaxed as the kids were happy playing. Highly recommend holding your next celebration here!

We celebrated our son Noah's first birthday at the Orchard. We were not fixed into a set menu, we were able to get a bit of everything for our guests. I have hosted many parties before and this was by far the easiest planning process because of Natalie.

We celebrated our daughter's Christening at the Pavilion, and it was so beautiful. Our guests couldn't stop talking about the venue, the food, the service. The park was a huge hit with the kids. Natalie was a dream to work with.

Check dates and get a quote

Can the company be invoiced?

Yes. We invoice with ABN and purchase order details and accept a capped bar tab.

Do you have a microphone for speeches?

Every function space has a PA and handheld microphone; the Pavilion adds screens for a photo tribute.

What is the ideal group size?

Anything from 8 in The VIP Suite to 200 in The Woolshed. Alfresco 1 (riverside) long lunches for 40 to 100 are the most popular.

Can guests order drinks individually after the tab closes?

Yes. Once the tab is reached the bar switches to pay-as-you-go without interrupting the event.

Why The Orchard

Celebrate your retirement partyat The Orchard

Most retirement send-offs at The Orchard are a Friday long lunch on the Alfresco 1 (riverside): a shared Freddy’s feast, a few speeches over the PA, and the afternoon left open. Formal dinners take the Pavilion with a slideshow on the screens; drinks-and-canapés farewells suit an exclusive-use Farmhouse.

We invoice companies directly, can cap a bar tab at a set amount, and cater to every dietary need. Guests driving from across the region get free parking on site.
