Celebration of Life at the Ommaroo

At the Ommaroo, we understand that a celebration of life is a deeply personal moment — a time to gather, remember, and honour someone special, surrounded by the people who loved them.

Our team is here to make this time as simple and supported as possible, offering a peaceful setting, thoughtful hospitality, and flexibility to suit your wishes.

 

A space to gather, remember and reflect
Whether you are planning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, the Ommaroo offers a range of welcoming spaces:

Seaview Lounge – Smaller gatherings of up to 20 guests can be hosted in our Seaview Lounge, adjacent to Coast Bar & Bistro on the ground floor. Enjoy afternoon tea, canapés, or light finger food in a relaxed and private setting.

Grantley’s – Larger celebrations for up to 125 can be held in Grantley’s, with options including a finger buffet, afternoon tea, canapés or a tailored menu to suit your preferences. Situated on the lower ground floor, Grantley’s incorporates a fully stocked bar, private entrance, enclosed outdoor seating area, disabled access, cloakroom and WCs.

If you are looking for larger numbers, our restaurant, Palmer’s, can be available between October and April. Please contact us for details. Our marquee is also available during the summer months.

If you have something specific in mind — family traditions, favourite foods, or a particular way you’d like to honour your loved one — we are always happy to discuss bespoke arrangements.

Thoughtful hospitality, with care
Our experienced team will quietly take care of the details, allowing you and your guests to focus on being together. From food service to room layout, we aim to create a calm and respectful environment that feels right for you.

Accommodation for family and friends
For family and friends travelling from the UK or overseas, the Ommaroo offers special overnight accommodation rates, making it easier for everyone to stay close and connected during this time.

We’re here to help
We know that planning can feel overwhelming, especially during a period of loss. Please don’t hesitate to contact us — we’re here to listen, guide you through the options, and support you in creating a meaningful farewell.
