WHAT TO EXPECT

A function worth talking about.

Arlo is one of the most scenic function venues on the Bellarine Peninsula. With views across Port Phillip Bay, a warm and relaxed atmosphere, and a kitchen renowned for handmade pasta, we offer something that a generic function centre simply can't.

We work with you to design a menu that suits your group — from a simple set feast to a multi-course dinner with matched wines. Our team handles the details so you can enjoy the day.

Whether you're planning a birthday lunch in Portarlington, a corporate dinner near Geelong, or a wedding celebration on the Bellarine, we'd love to host you.
