Events

Invite your crowd to take in the vast ocean views. Whether the aim is to inspire the mind or kick back and celebrate, there’s no place like nature to get into the spirit.

Unique event spot

Spill out into wide-open spaces for team-building, or kick back with drinks and canapes in our all-weather, purpose-built marquee. Our bar leaners, wine barrels, and banquette tables will help you ease effortlessly from laidback mingling into sit-down meal. 

Dedicated team

From the moment you book, our team is ready to help you make the magic happen. While we do a fabulous job managing the venue, we encourage you to engage an event planner to ensure your day runs smoothly.  We have a list of preferred local suppliers that can help source anything you may need for your event.

Provided for you
