Looking for an off-site conference venue that feels a world away from the meeting room without travelling far from central Geelong?

Set on three acres of private gardens between the Barwon River and its gum tree-lined banks, Barwon Edge offers a unique setting for conference welcome functions, dinners and corporate events.

Recently acquired by the team behind Alma and Felix restaurants, the venue pairs a beautiful riverside location with flexible indoor and outdoor spaces. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the gardens and river, while the expansive grounds create opportunities to extend an event outdoors - from pre-dinner drinks and networking to team activities or bespoke incentive experiences.

For conference organisers, it’s an opportunity to give delegates a different taste of Geelong while keeping the experience easily accessible from the city’s conference precinct and accommodation.

Corporate events by the river

Barwon Edge recently showcased its corporate event offering when it hosted a launch event for 40 guests in collaboration with P3 Events.

Guests enjoyed a three-course chef’s selection and long lunch, with the venue also accommodating a presentation as part of the event. Local suppliers helped bring the experience together, with The Posie Place providing florals and plant gifts and Friday Hire supplying signage and a display cart.

The result combined all the practical elements of a corporate function with the relaxed atmosphere of a destination dining experience.

Whether you’re planning a seated conference dinner, cocktail-style welcome function or an experience that spills out onto the grounds, Barwon Edge offers a refreshing change of scenery on the banks of the Barwon River.
