Once you’ve locked in the venue, think about unique entertainment, like live music, a scavenger hunt, or even a magician show. For a more interactive experience, you could organise a cooking class or wine-tasting event, which are popular options in venues around The Rocks or Newtown. You can also personalise your celebration with unique decorations and catering.
The venue is ideal for a function. Rustic space with stunning views of the harbour, harbour bridge and Luna park. The kitchen and ancillary facilities are appropriate and functional.
The venue was perfect for my daughter 18th Birthday. Everyone loved the venue and Ron was fantastic with his service.
Venue was very nice and well maintained. The staff were super friendly and on top of things like food and drinks, and were also super helpful when we asked them questions and stuff. The food tasted really good and there was enough for everyone.
