About the function space

Situated on the Eastern edge of Geelong city, the Elephant and Castle Hotel was built in 1891 and has been part of the dining and function scene in town ever since. Its redevelopment in 2005 catapulted it past its competitors in terms of facilities, food and service.

When it comes to functions, you're the boss. The Elephant is happy to cater to your needs and budget.

The upstairs Gallery Room is just that - an eclectic gathering of framed works as a backdrop to your special event. The room exudes old world charm, yet has all the modern touches you desire, including heating and cooling and exclusive use of the space.

There is also your own private bar (not pictured) in an adjacent room, where you can mingle, sip and sup.

Should you be planning an after-party, the Elephant can organise free entry into selected venues and a courtesy bus for transport.
