About Balaclava Hotel

The Balaclava Hotel is a local pub on Mulgrave Road in Earlville, a short drive south of the Cairns city centre. It has a steakhouse restaurant, a sports bar with lounges and big screens, and rooms for guests who want to stay over. For private events the hotel has areas that hold anywhere from 10 to 60 guests. It hosts both social and work functions, from conferences and meetings to birthdays, engagement parties and wedding receptions. The Helmet Room is used for corporate functions, training sessions and demonstrations, and also works for a private dinner or a celebration of up to 60. The Club Room is a second function space that can be set up for a small gathering or a larger event. The kitchen behind the Graziers Steakhouse looks after function catering. You can choose simple platters that feed 6 to 10 people each, a buffet banquet, or one of three alternate-drop set menus, and some hosts let guests order from the steakhouse menu instead. Rooms can be arranged for cocktail-style drinks, a seated meal or a meeting layout. A dedicated functions coordinator helps plan the details, from the room set-up to the menu.
