About Sunnybrae Estate
Sunnybrae Estate occupies the old Islington farm buildings on Naweena Road at Regency Park. The cowshed, dairy and homestead date from the 1880s, and the Liapis family has restored them and replanted around eight acres of gardens. There are three function rooms. The Coach House mixes stonework with a rustic fit-out, Ikos is the most formal of the three, and the Marquee is a free-standing glass-sided pavilion that looks onto the lawns. The Marquee seats 300 at round tables and takes up to 600 for a cocktail event. The Coach House holds 200 at rounds or 300 standing, while Ikos seats 180 at rounds, 240 at long trestles and 280 for cocktails. All catering is done on site by the estate's chefs, with menus built around a Mediterranean shared table and changed between summer and winter. Packages run from cocktail food and shared banquets to plated entrees and mains, and a Greek-style mezze feast with charcoal-cooked meats. Each room has its own bar, and an outdoor bar can be added for garden events. Drinks are sold as timed beverage packages or a minimum bar tab, with spirits, cocktail and spirits upgrades on top. Private event bookings include four hours of venue hire, set-up of linen and furniture, lighting, printed menus and an event coordinator. Guests can tour the estate by appointment, and the team takes christenings, engagements, birthdays, anniversaries, corporate events and weddings.

What is included in a private event booking?
Bookings include four hours of venue hire, full in-house food and drink service, on-site parking and a dedicated event coordinator. The team sets up the room with white or black linen, chairs, two printed menus per table, a cake stand and lighting, and lays out your place cards and bonbonniere.
Can we bring our own spirits?
In the Coach House and the Marquee you can supply your own spirits, which stay behind the bar and are poured by the estate's staff during the last three hours of your drinks package. The estate suggests about one bottle for every 10 guests, and a service fee applies. House and premium spirits packages are also available if you prefer not to bring your own.
Are there meals for children and younger guests?
Yes. Children's meals with soft drinks and dessert are $65 per person, and young adults get a reduced rate off the adult package price. Supplier meals with soft drinks are also available.
