for the people you work with
Bring them down to the water
Bring the team out of the office and down to the harbour for the day. The rooms are bright from the first session, and the city sits close across the water, part of the day without any of its noise. When the last speaker finishes, the light softens, the bar opens, and everyone drifts out to the balcony with a drink while the city lights come on across the harbour. You get the day you planned, in the kind of room people thank you for finding.
Some of the teams we have hosted
what we host
The long days and the big nights
Gala dinners and awards
Long tables set toward the glass and a stage at the front, with the city lit up across the water by the time the awards begin.
Christmas and end of year
Drinks and canapés on the balcony as the sun goes down over the harbour, on a bar tab or a package, whichever suits the budget.
Launches and client nights
Screens and staging for the reveal, and the harbour behind it for the photos.

Conferences
Half-day and full-day conferences, with the room set theatre, cabaret, boardroom or banquet to your brief and the AV already in it. Our in-house team handles everything from the menu to the microphone, or you bring in your preferred suppliers. We work the way you want to work.
-
Gala dinners
Awards nights, gala dinners and black-tie celebrations with the harbour behind every table. A curated seasonal menu, a theme of your choosing and full event coordination, from the décor to the last course.
-
Christmas parties
From an intimate team dinner to the whole company. Festive menus from our own kitchen, the waterfront outside, and a coordinator who takes care of every detail, so you can relax and enjoy the night with your team.
-
EOFY events
Celebrate the wins and recognise the team at the end of the financial year. Cocktail or dinner menus shaped around Melbourne’s corporate calendar, and a coordinator who handles every detail. Come the night, all you need to do is raise a glass.
-
Product launches
Make your first impression count. A waterfront backdrop that sets the tone before your guests walk through the door, AV for the reveal, and a coordinator on every logistical detail so your team can stay focused. Come launch day, the stage is set.

the day
From the first coffee to the last tram
The day starts with coffee at the windows, while the boats head out and the city wakes up across the water. Then everyone takes a seat, in rows or at cabaret tables, and the speaker stands in front of the glass with the harbour behind them, so the room never loses its light. Lunch is served in the next room or out on the balcony, and when the afternoon runs long the Waterfront bar is already open.
One coordinator looks after the whole day for you: the run sheet, the AV, the dietary list, the supplier who is running late. You deal with one person from the first site visit to the night itself, and they deal with everyone else.

From our own kitchen
The kitchen is in-house, so morning tea arrives warm and lunch is built for a room that has to sit down again at two. In the evening the same kitchen does canapés for a party or three courses for a gala, with the dietary list handled before anyone sits down.
in their words
What clients say
good to know
Things people ask us
Yes. The Victoria Room sits beside the Waterfront Room and works as a breakout or a quiet dinner, and the whole venue can be yours for a day or three.
Speakers, wireless microphones, a lectern, projectors and screens are in each room. For a bigger production your coordinator brings in our AV partner and runs it with them.
Southern Cross Station is a short walk, trams run from Flinders Street, and there are three car parks within walking distance. Hotels sit next door for interstate delegates.
Within one business day. Tell us the date and the numbers and we will come back with availability, a venue tour invitation and a tailored proposal.
Yes, and we encourage it. A venue tour lets you see the rooms first-hand and talk through your plans with our events team. Book a venue tour and we will arrange a time that suits.
Yes. Every event is different, so our kitchen works with you on a menu that suits your tastes and your guests’ dietary requirements, from a canapé selection to a full sit-down dinner.
Our cancellation policy is designed to be transparent and fair, and it varies with the booking terms. Our team will take you through the deposit terms and timelines for your date.
