Enquire NowEvent Spaces
From glass-walled dining to an intimate private room and a lounge beside the gaming floor, each space is designed for a different kind of gathering.
Our main dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows, ideal for seated dinners and cocktail receptions. The room opens onto the bar and carries natural light throughout the day.
An intimate space for smaller gatherings, perfect for business dinners or family celebrations. The room offers dedicated service and a quiet atmosphere away from the main floor.
A semi-private area adjacent to the gaming floor, offering a unique backdrop for events with optional gaming access. Guests can move between the lounge and the tables with ease.
Dining & Bar Packages
Our events team builds menus around the season and your guests. Choose a structured package or work with the chef to create something bespoke.
Our chefs create seasonal menus using local Victorian produce, from canapés to multi-course dinners. Every dish follows the same farm-to-table philosophy as the restaurant.
Choose from curated wine lists, craft beers, and signature cocktails, with options for full bar service. Non-alcoholic pairings are available for guests who prefer them.
Casino Gaming Options
For events with guests 21+, we can arrange access to our licensed casino floor with live-dealer table games and pokies. Your group can move from dinner to the tables without leaving the venue.
Guests must be 21 or older to enter the casino floor. Our team can help you plan a schedule that keeps dining and gaming separate for mixed-age groups.
