About this space

Backroom is a private Event Space in Ovolo South Yarra, a retro lounge-style room with a 1970s-inspired interior.

Design: The space presents 1970s-inspired finishes: warm patterned carpet, dark timber columns, heavy curtains and low, ambient lighting that keep the room feeling contained and intimate.

Features: The room includes Wi-Fi, air conditioning and an in-room PA/speaker system and permits own music or a hired DJ subject to the venue's noise restrictions. The room contains clusters of low lounge seating and round tables arranged for flexible standing or casual seated use; the space is wheelchair accessible and has accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Small social groups or corporate teams seeking a relaxed, cocktail-style or casual networking gathering in a cosy lounge setting.

What sets it apart: Direct access to the hotel's bar area allows streamlined drink service into the room.

What guests say: The space is retro and eclectic in design with a cosy, homely feel. Cleanliness can be inconsistent.

Wedding · 60 guests · December 2023
We were lucky to host the wedding of the year at Ovolo. Lara was a godsend, Ebony an angel, and Alex a living legend. I was impressed at every turn by what the venue has built for itself, and what the team were willing to offer. I will hold Ovolo in my heart forever

Conference · 50 guests · August 2023
The venue was really comfortable, great facilities & excellent hospitality
The noise the fridges make in the backroom is quite loud & distracting for group training (particularly when sitting at the back of the room)
