V.I.P Veranda
The VIP area is a veranda wing in the main restaurant that seats 10 to 18 people and is a semi-enclosed area on the second level of the restaurant. It is favoured by smaller birthday and wedding parties. This area is adjacent to the evening pianist so we recommend if the client is having speeches reserving instead the more private Summer House. A deposit fee of $10.00 per head on estimated numbers is payable in advance for the VIP wing.  There is no venue hire fee for the VIP wing, but there is a $5.00 per head set up fee.

For groups larger than 12, we suggest contacting us for a set menu suggestion.

Summer House
The Summer House is a private roofed deck with a bar overlooking the private beach and lagoon. This is a popular daytime venue for Corporate Meetings of up to 30 people. Evenings bring a backdrop of the setting sun and a venue for up to 35 seated for a set menu dinner or up to 70 people standing for cocktails. The Summer House is right on the beach. 

To reserve the Summer House from Monday - Friday, a minimum venue hire of $400 is required, $600.00 on Saturdays and Public Holidays. An additional $5.00 per head table set up fee is required for seated events. We do not offer our "a la carte menu" for groups larger than 16, but request that you choose one of the set function menus - see link below. There is a minimum per head spend for the Summer House.
