About Seacliff Beach Hotel

The Seacliff Beach Hotel sits on the Esplanade at Seacliff, directly across the road from the sand. Locals come for its shared platters, seafood and a beer list with 13 taps, and the balcony faces west over the water at sunset. Functions are held upstairs in the Blue Swimmer Room, a private room with its own bar, amenities and a separate entrance from the top car park. Large windows look towards the beach, and the balcony can be added to a booking for an extra minimum spend. The room seats 60 to 80 guests for a sit-down meal or holds up to 120 for a cocktail party. A ceiling projector, microphone and a TV with HDMI are built in, which helps with speeches, slideshows and presentations. Catering covers plated banquets, finger food platters and working lunches. Two-course alternate drop menus start at $55 per person, with guest-choice and three-course menus above that, while platters such as arancini, sliders and oysters are ordered by the tray. Drinks can run on a bar tab, a part-subsidised tab or a cash bar, or on one of three timed packages from $40 per person. Bookings run for five hours, extra time is charged by the hour, and evening events wrap up at midnight.
