Orso Bayside Reception

Orso boasts an abundance of natural light through clear floor-to-ceiling glass expanses and can cater for functions of up to 250 guests.

Orso is an incredible waterfront experience - it has its own beach, jetty and deck, as well as a resident family of photogenic pelicans that can be seen paddling outside at most times.

In keeping with its origins as a boatshed, guests can arrive by boat and tie up at Orso’s private jetty, or utilize ample car parking on either side of Spit Road.

Orso’s design features are muted to better reflect its special waterfront surroundings. A sea of white damask covered tables, outdoor canvas awnings, natural sisal carpet, sand-hued border tiles and polished timbers emphasize the scene. Lighting is deliberately soft, utilising a special sail device which borrows its design from the sails of yachts and the curvilinear forms of the hulls moored in front of the function centre.

The function centre is fully air-conditioned; with a large private balcony and jetty overlooking the beach and harbour.

Whether it’s a wedding, corporate event or private function the experienced team at Orso will ensure your event's success.
