Christmas Party Venues in the Byron Hinterland

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Office Christmas functions in the Byron Hinterland lean towards the outdoors, with long December evenings and green hills doing much of the decorating. The two venues here sit in different corners of the hills and suit very different kinds of team celebration.

Comparing the two hinterland Christmas venues:

McLeods Shoot means spirits and rainforest: the distillery there takes private hire on any day of the week.
Nashua means a sit-down farm meal: Frida's Field hosts exclusive events in an open-plan barn with a commercial kitchen.
Cocktails or a feast: Cape Byron Distillery suits a mingling crowd, while the farm is built around shared plates at long tables.
Both hold up to 150 in total, and the distillery seats 80 if the team wants a proper sit-down.
Price guide: the farm's December menus come in from $137.50 per person, and the distillery quotes each booking.

December brings afternoon storms to the hinterland, so check each venue's covered space before locking in an outdoor plan.

A 90-minute to two-hour cocktail session on the balcony suits teams of 10 to 50.
Extras include a guided stroll through the regenerated rainforest, G&T in hand, or a whisky tasting among the barrels.
The company can cover drinks upfront or on a tab, or staff can buy their own, and the bar sticks to its own spirits.
Getting home is up to the team, so arrange a coach or rideshares before the night begins.

The whole team gets a private property to itself, with wi-fi and backup power for speeches or a slideshow.
Plates follow the summer harvest from the garden, orchard and cattle, with vegetarian versions available.
Teams can add tree planting, a farm tour or a cooking class to turn lunch into an afternoon.
A bus can turn on site and there are 30 car parks, which helps when the whole office travels together.
