Christmas Party Venues in Palm Cove

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Palm Cove's Christmas venues sit within a short stretch of Williams Esplanade and Veivers Road, so team size is what separates them. A crew of 20 and a company of 300 will land in very different rooms.

Matching the end-of-year party to the venue:

Up to 50 in a pub: O'Donnells lets a group take over its snug bar, with the team arranging food, drinks and music.
A covered deck for 120: Alfresco Deck @ Palm Cove Tavern has misting fans and a big screen, from $20 per person for its high tea package.
Seated lunches for 35: Rattle n Hum Palm Cove's front deck sits under a tall pergola roof.
Whole-company events: Surf Club Palm Cove's Function Room holds up to 600 and is fully air-conditioned.
A smaller deck gathering: O'Donnells also seats a relaxed group on its beachside deck.

Christmas falls in the wet season, so ask each venue about covered space and air conditioning before you settle on an outdoor area.

O'Donnells cooks Irish dishes, a grill menu, seafood and oven pizzas, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices.
Palm Cove Tavern offers shared platters, substantial canapés or a plated set menu, plus drinks packages in standard and premium tiers.
Surf Club Palm Cove's events team builds food and drink packages from platters through to seated dinners.
Rattle n Hum Palm Cove needs boards, platters and pizzas ordered a week ahead.

Choosing between the surf club and the tavern

The surf club's oceanfront deck takes 20 to 500 and can be hired as half or the whole space.
Its Garden Bar suits a casual team afternoon for 10 to 200 with full bar service.
The tavern's Beer Garden Lawn under the palms adds room for 100 standing.
Takings at the surf club help fund the volunteer lifesavers who patrol Palm Cove Beach.
