Moroccan
Thai
Chinese

A grazing station is $18 per head for fifty or more: antipasto, cheeses, house-made dips, grilled vegetables and olives with fresh bread, lavosh and quince paste. Roaming desserts with coffee and tea are $9.50 per head.
An awards night or a gala dinner eats from the same seated menu as a wedding here. Two courses are $84 per head, three are $94, and giving your guests more to choose from costs more again, up to $160.
Guests order individually at the table rather than by alternate drop. An alternate drop is $5 per head less. Every course carries vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and dairy free options.
Priced per person for the length of your event, so the bill does not move on the day.
Everything charged on consumption to one account, which suits a room that will not drink evenly.
Ask us to price both ways. Which one wins depends entirely on the room.
Wines and vintages are subject to availability.


Breakfasts, dinners and Christmas
Each price is per person and covers the food and drink for that format.
Networking drinks, product launches and healthcare events all run here too. Tell us what you have in mind and we will price it for you.
AV included
A lectern, a microphone, a PA system and wi-fi for your presenter come with every corporate booking at no charge. Most venues in this city quote them as hire. We would rather you spent the money on lunch.
All of it arranged before the day rather than on it. For anything larger we work with Central Audio Visual and Scene Change, who know the rooms.
Your event manager
Your event manager helps you plan the program, catering and timings, and is here on the day to look after set-up and any external suppliers.
Tell us what you have in mind and we will help you shape it, from the room layout and AV to the catering and run sheet. A deposit secures your date, with the final payment before the event. Purchase orders and tax invoices are routine here.
Our team sets up the room, looks after your suppliers and keeps the day running to time. Need something at short notice? We can often help with short-lead events too.
Getting everyone here
Half the job of running a conference is the logistics around it, and this address does most of that for you.
Before you get in touch
Final numbers are confirmed 10 days before your event, and that is the number you pay on. If more delegates register after that, let us know and we can handle last-minute increases.
Yes. The lectern, microphone, PA and presenter wi-fi are ours and included, and anything beyond that you can hire from us or bring in. Our preferred AV supplier, Central Audio Visual, knows the rooms and offers discounted rates for events here.
A deposit secures your date, and the final payment is due before your event. One quote covers the room, catering and drinks, and we can add a purchase order number to your tax invoices if your finance team needs one.
Wi-fi is provided for your presenter. The walls of the house are thick, so the connection is not strong enough for every delegate in any room. If all delegates need to be online, we recommend an external supplier sets this up, and we can point you to one.
Every break and every lunch carries vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and dairy free options; send the list with your final numbers. The Conservatory, the courtyard and the ground floor are accessible. The tram stops outside, and there is street and station parking nearby, with discounted rates at affiliated hotels for interstate delegates.
Ask about your date
Every enquiry goes to one of our event managers, who will check your date and come back to you personally. We would love to hear what you have in mind.
