About Panorama House

Perched on the escarpment at Bulli Tops, Panorama House offers a romantic cliff‑top setting with sweeping views of the Illawarra region and the Pacific Ocean. The venue features a picturesque white gazebo on a manicured lawn — an idyllic spot for an outdoor ceremony with the sea as your backdrop. Inside, multiple function rooms have been thoughtfully designed to host weddings of various sizes and cultural traditions.

Panorama House can accommodate celebrations from 40 guests up to 550 guests. Packages cater to different cultures and budgets, and the staff pride themselves on delivering the warm hospitality for which the venue is renowned. Options include buffet‑style, breakfast‑style and cultural menus, allowing couples to customise the experience according to their heritage and preferences. The atmosphere here is dramatic yet intimate.

The cliff‑top gazebo provides unforgettable photo opportunities, with the ocean stretching into the distance. Indoors, floor‑to‑ceiling windows frame the view, ensuring guests feel connected to the landscape. Whether hosting a small gathering or a lavish affair, Panorama House offers flexible spaces, breathtaking scenery and friendly service.
