A New Chapter for Events at Mount Duneed Estate

As Geelong and The Bellarine’s business events landscape continues to grow, so too does the diversity of venues available to planners looking to bring conferences, gala dinners and corporate events to the region.

Mount Duneed Estate has entered an exciting new chapter, expanding its event offering to accommodate larger-scale business events while retaining the food, service and relaxed regional setting the venue is known for.

The expansion was inspired, in part, by the development of Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre and the opportunities its opening would create for the wider region.

Recognising the growing demand for premium spaces capable of hosting larger gala dinners and sophisticated corporate events, the Mount Duneed Estate team saw an opportunity to complement Geelong’s expanding conference infrastructure with a large-scale off-site venue.

The result is a purpose-designed event space capable of hosting up to 500 guests for a seated dinner, with room for staging, presentations, entertainment and a substantial dancefloor.

Designed with large events in mind

For planners, one of the standout features of the expanded space is its square floorplan. The design provides strong sightlines throughout the room, helping ensure guests remain connected to presentations, speakers and entertainment regardless of where they are seated.

It makes the space particularly well suited to gala dinners, awards nights, conference functions, product launches and corporate celebrations where the stage forms an important part of the experience.

And while capacity is important, Mount Duneed Estate has focused on ensuring a larger event doesn’t lose the sense of hospitality and personal service that has long been part of the venue.

From conference to countryside

For business event organisers, Mount Duneed Estate’s expansion also creates new possibilities when considering the wider delegate journey.

Located between Geelong and the Surf Coast, the estate provides an opportunity to take delegates beyond the traditional conference environment and incorporate a distinctly regional setting into a multi-day program.

A conference in central Geelong could transition into an off-site gala dinner at the estate, while corporate groups can use the venue as part of a broader program exploring Geelong and its surrounds.

It’s this ability to combine major conference infrastructure with memorable off-site venues and regional experiences that continues to strengthen Geelong and The Bellarine’s business events offering.

With capacity for up to 500 guests, a purpose-designed event space, onsite dining and an experienced events team, Mount Duneed Estate adds another compelling option for planners looking to create a business event that extends beyond the conference room.
