A Good Reason to Get Together

Food, live music, events, celebrations and more on Phillip Island.

Welcome to Merrilands.

We're big believers in getting people together.

Around a table. In front of a stage. Over a good meal. For something worth celebrating. Or simply because it's been far too long.

Merrilands Estate is a place for food, live music, events and gatherings on Phillip Island, set amongst beautiful gardens and countryside, with a long history of bringing people together.

There’s plenty happening here. And plenty more to come.

We'd love to see you here.

There's more happening here.

Merrilands isn't one thing. And we rather like it that way.

What’s On

Something worth leaving the house for.

Live music, special dinners, workshops, family days and events that give you a very good excuse to round everyone up.

Private Events

Some celebrations call for the perfect location.

Big birthdays, long-overdue reunions, family milestones or simply a very good excuse to gather. There’s always something worth celebrating.

Weddings

Some gatherings are bigger than others.

The Shearing Shed has been bringing couples, families and friends together at Merrilands Estate for more than a decade. If there's a wedding on the horizon, you'll want to head that way.

Something New Is Coming

We can’t tell you too much just now but know it will be worth the wait.

Once you know you will kick yourself that you didn’t work it out sooner.

Plans are better when they involve other people.

A long lunch that rolls into the afternoon.

Live music with songs you actually know the words to.

Dinner you didn't have to cook.

Something for the kids. Something for the grown-ups.

A table full of people you've been meaning to catch up with for months.

That's what we're here for.

A Phillip Island Gem with a Story to Tell.

Merrilands has been our family home for generations.

Over the years, the property has changed, grown and welcomed a great many people through its gates.

Today, Merrilands Estate brings it all together — our beautiful grounds, our spaces, our food and, most importantly, the people who fill them.

We're proud of where we've come from.

We're even more excited about where the future will take us.
