About this space

The Conservatory at our venue offers a versatile setting, accommodating a range of events from stand-up style gatherings for 30-50 guests with a fully serviced bar to intimate dinner parties. The stand-up style configuration creates a lively atmosphere, complemented by the convenience of a full-service bar.

Additionally, for more intimate affairs, the Conservatory transforms seamlessly into an ideal space for a small dinner party, comfortably seating up to 40 guests across two long tables. This charming space also provides direct access to the Terrace, enhancing the overall experience.

Conservatory & Half Terrace can be booked together for 60-110 guests. A higher minimum spend applies to the combined spaces.

For 21st Birthdays, these will be approved on a case by case basis, subject to a site inspection by the guest before confirming the booking. For 21st Birthdays, one security guard per 50 guests or part thereof is required at a cost of $300 per guard (pre-payable 7 days in advance). A Bond of $500 is also required to be pre-paid in case of any damage. This is refundable subject to a site check within 7 days post-Function. No minors permitted onsite after 9PM.

The Rawson is very hands-on with the wedding. They made sure food was serve timely and the food was amazing and great value for money. It’s exceptional to have plenty of option for the private room. I highly recommend Rawson! Kudos to their team!
