About this space

The Sandbar is a casual beachside café and event venue defined by a relaxed coastal character and an all-day café operation that converts for private events in the evening.

Design: The interior presents an open-plan, light-filled dining room with white-painted exposed beams, timber floors and simple metal café seating; large windows and industrial pendant lights increase daylight and sightlines.

Features: The venue contains a full-service bar and a commercial kitchen that supplies café menus, share plates and canapé packages, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. The space includes a PA system and speakers, permits guest music and BYO DJs, and provides flexible table layouts across an open dining plan.

Ideal for: Groups of friends or colleagues seeking a relaxed, social standing reception or informal seated meal in a seaside-style setting.

What sets it apart: An expansive waterside deck provides uninterrupted sunset views over the water.

What guests say: The venue provides professional event coordination and accommodates dietary requirements, and the kitchen delivers timely food service during private events.
