Everything! Communication prior and on the day was the best it could be! I was extremely happy to have worked with Rose who made this event a success!
Sadly our suit was pretty average for the price we paid. The rooms could be renovated to appeal to the upscale Bondi community.

Birthday Party · 40 guests · December 2023
The venue was perfect for what I was looking for and it was also very affordable. Erin (the lady helping me organise this event) was honestly amazing to work with. She always emailed me back within the day of emailing her and answered every single thing I asked her. She made this whole experience so easy and effortless. The venue itself was very nice. It was a very hot day but the aircon was perfect. The staff were all very helpful with anything I needed on the day of the event and they were very accomodating for all my requests. The male bathroom was accessible to the public via the event space but this wasn't an issue at all as my event was during the day on a Saturday so it wasn't very busy, meaning not many people from the public accessed the bathroom during my event. I was able to use a USB to put up a slide show on the TV and have some balloons and a cake set up for everyone to get photos infront of. The food was very delicious. All round the venue and the staff were awesome and i would definitely recommend this space for anyone considering.
