Where do I begin! From the get go, Lee at LaValla was incredible to work with. He took away all our stress and helped bring our magical day to life. Not only did we get a stunning venue with amazing food, but we got a wedding planner and from that a new friend. We are blown away with the standard of service we received from LaValla. We've had so many compliments on our day at LaValla. If you're stuck on a venue, we can highly recommend LaValla for your special day. Our day went off without a hitch and thats 100% down to Lee and his awesome team. Thank you again

Came to this unique and hidden gem of a place for a work function and was blown away by the location, the atmosphere, the high level of service, and of course, the amazing chefs that prepared homestyle delicious fresh food for us. I cannot rave enough about this place and I think other function places can learn from them. From when I first walked in to when I walked out, I felt like I was part of this family. The food is divine (even during the tea breaks!). If you are looking to host a company gathering and want to get out of the city and go back to basics......Look no further. You will not be disappointed.

Had a fabulous early Christmas Lunch with family, at this attractive venue. Set in mature grounds, guests can chose to sit inside or out o eat. You are encouraged to walk around these grounds between courses. Good idea as the food was plentiful and utterly delicious. Our party of eight had shared entrees followed by a very generous main course, followed by Devine desserts. Extra items were served to the member with dietary requirements. The level of service was exemplary. All in all a wonderful day and celebration.

On behalf of Red Office, we would like to let the entire team at LaValla know we had (and always have) the best time here. We had our end of year team lunch here yesterday and the food was amazing, the service was personal and top notch. We had a large group of 24 and it was perfectly managed from the indoor games to the table settings. Thanks LaValla for accommodating us so well.

Kelly who took over in the evening was amazing as well. Food is to die for. Highly recommend this hidden gem the photo locations are endless. Thank you Again

Comfortable - Felt Like Home! I stayed here for a work conference which was for the duration of one night. I arrived feeling strung out and left feeling so relaxed. The grounds are very maintained with lovely flowers and fruit trees. The accomodation was suitable with a heat pump, TV and lovely overhead shower! The service was also exceptional and very friendly. The highlight for me was by far, the gorgeous food. I follow a vegan/plant based diet and was catered for very well.

Have been lucky enough to use the facilities for functions and even attended a function as a guest this year. Their attention to detail and service made it great to run workshops there. Everything was laid out exactly how we wanted it, the technical support was great and efficient and the overall helpfulness was outstanding. However the real star attraction was the food provided during the day. It was first class, superb quality and incredibly fresh. When invited to an evening function, the lure of the dinner was enough to get us along. A much larger venue but ran very smoothly. A really nice touch was when the food ( sharing plates) was delivered to the tables the waitstaff explained which each dish was, then followed by the chef 10 minutes later. made it very personal and enjoyable. I really loved the smoky lamb salad, but all dishes were superb. Highly recommend for any size function
