EVENT TESTIMONIALS
Dee Brocks - Conference
Hired Ellora for 2 full days and I would like to give a massive shout out to Patrick, Harrison & Ben at Ellora for hosting our Annual Gathering! They went absolutely above & beyond to look after & feed almost 30 members who came from all over Australia! I would highly recommend their services in one of the best locations in St Kilda!
Tim Wood - Work Function
Great event space, delicious food and cocktails, super friendly staff and the booking process was streamlined and all of our requests were met. Every attendee at the event (all 90 of us) thoroughly enjoyed the event and only had positive comments to make.
I had an after work function at Ellora over the long weekend, and the vibe was amazing! It's really close to the beach, and they've just opened a newly renovated rooftop. Worth a visit I highly recommend booking the rooftop to catch that beautiful St Kilda sunset.
