Venue Testimonials
I organised my sister's hens all the way from Perth, and I was so happy with this venue. We were placed in Bar Moubray and it was so stylish. The menus and the whole table were very aesthetic and had a beautiful theme to them which I was so happy with. We also stayed out quite late and then they moved us to the outdoor garden which was stunning with all the fairy lights. I am overall stunned by the entire location, venue and the customer service from the team was impeccable.
Antonella M
We had a booking for a birthday party with 23 people in the Rose Garden. All our guests commented on how great a function it turned out to be! The entire event was sensational due to the lovely setting, food and service provided by both management and especially the staff.
Georgia K
Great place to eat or book for an event. Eat outside for a quick bite, or enjoy a lavish inside banquet with all the trimmings. Great rooms for events. From outside drinks under the marquee, to more refined silver-service dining inside. A room for every event.
