Red Hill Estate Acoustics
The Challenge
Red Hill Estate, one of Victoria’s premier wine destinations, is celebrated for its award-winning wines and breathtaking views of the Mornington Peninsula. With fine dining at the heart of its guest experience, the estate needed every detail of its dining room acoustics to match the quality of its food and wine. Yet the very features that made the estate’s glass room acoustics so striking—floor-to-ceiling glass, polished finishes, and high ceilings—also created a major problem: noise.
The result was a loud restaurant environment where:
Guests struggled to hold conversations without raising their voices. Staff found it difficult to hear orders clearly, adding stress to service. The natural elegance of the venue was overshadowed by excess echo and reverberation.
In hospitality, noise is more than an annoyance—it’s a threat to the atmosphere. For Red Hill Estate, solving the issue of restaurant acoustics was essential to preserving the refined experience its brand promised.
The Solution
SoundFix Acoustics was engaged to deliver a professional, evidence-based solution. Our team carried out an acoustic assessment of both the dining room and glass room. The results confirmed what guests were experiencing: excessive reverberation times well above recommended hospitality standards. To correct this, we recommended the installation of ceiling acoustic panels engineered for maximum echo reduction and noise control.
Why ceiling panels?
They target the largest reflective surface in the room.
They remain out of reach in high-traffic hospitality spaces.
They offer discreet sound absorption panels that integrate seamlessly with architecture.
By focusing on the ceiling, we could deliver significant noise reduction without compromising the open, elegant design of Red Hill Estate’s signature spaces.
This approach is part of our proven expertise in acoustic solutions for restaurants—designed to transform loud dining halls into comfortable, calm spaces.
The Installation
The acoustic panel installation was carried out by our experienced team with precision and efficiency.
Assessment & Layout – Panel positions were carefully mapped to balance maximum sound absorption with aesthetic flow.
Ceiling Coverage – Our 50 mm ceiling acoustic panels were installed to achieve optimal coverage across both the dining room and the glass room.
Seamless Integration – The panels blended into the ceiling grid, preserving the architectural integrity of each space.
The installation was completed with minimal disruption, ensuring Red Hill Estate could continue welcoming guests without downtime.
The Outcome
Red Hill Estate is a shining example of how targeted acoustic panel installation can transform a venue. With the right ceiling acoustic panels and expertly designed sound absorption panels, even the most challenging restaurant acoustics can be brought into balance. The transformation was immediate. Both the dining room and the glass room shifted from loud restaurant acoustics to calm, refined hospitality spaces.
At SoundFix Acoustics, we believe every venue deserves to sound as good as it looks. Red Hill Estate is proof that with the right acoustic solutions, even architecturally challenging spaces can be transformed into havens of clarity and comfort.

Before, when we had a full house, it was really hard for customers to hear each other. Now, the feedback has been amazing! Our customers are really happy, and so are we!”

“The installation only took about 3.5 hours. We just moved the children to a different room for a couple of hours, and the panels were up—you can’t even notice they’re there. The improvement is instant. Even outside the room, I can hear less noise. The educators are saying it’s less stressful, and there’s less stress on the children.”
