50th Birthday Party · 25 guests · November 2025

The privacy of a good-sized venue with its own dance area, private bar (stocked with champagne) and toilets. We added some disco lights and led candles and hired a DJ - it was our own private night club! Exactly what we were after.

Staff were very friendly and so helpful and the venue had plenty of space for my party of 60 people. We were able to use the TV for a fun quiz during the party which was great.

Pub · 30 guests · April 2025

We had my husbands 30th birthday at the Pearl Lounge Bar. Our event manager Tayla was amazing. She went above and beyond for the entirety of the planning processing making sure that we were happy. She made it so easy to plan and was so helpful in organising music, food options for guests with food requirements and decorations. The venue space was beautiful, so spacious and everyone was able to enjoy themselves at different parts of the space. We loved how the space was private and able to accommodate for small to large parties with a seperate dance floor. Once decorated it turned out to be a very fun vibe! The staff was also very accommodating and friendly - our guests had asked for condiments / their special meals and they were met so quickly with their request. Would highly recommend Pennys Hotel for any celebration!

DJ hired was dismissive and did not have a great attitude. She left early as she was already paid and she didn’t have the playlist of songs we wanted. The sushi platters seems not made in house and didn’t taste fresh.
