Birthday Party Venues in Avoca Beach

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Two addresses on Avoca Drive and one on Vine Street cover most birthday plans in Avoca Beach, from a tapas lunch beside the surf to a 150-guest night in a hotel function room.

The Avoca Beach options side by side:

Avoca Beach House, 3/85 Avoca Drive: timber tables, big windows and a terrace along the beach side, taking groups of 11 to 80 and exclusive hire for 120 standing, from $62 per person.
The Surf Club Avoca Beach, Level 1, 10 Vine Street: The Hall with its stage, plus a restaurant, a balcony and a deck with a fireplace, all above the beach.
Kookaburra Room @ Avoca Beach Hotel, 326-360 Avoca Drive: the biggest private room at the family-owned hotel, for up to 150, with a data projector and screen included.
A smaller crowd at the hotel: the Rosella Room is a hillside retreat for up to 40 with its own deck.
How the food comes: tapas and set menus at Avoca Beach House, feast-style menus and grazing tables from the club kitchen, and grazing boards and platters at the hotel.

A 21st with a band belongs in the surf club hall; a 70th lunch with the grandchildren sits more comfortably on Avoca Beach House's terrace or among the hotel's leafy grounds.

The Hall at the surf club: open floor with a stage at one end for bands or speeches, and a sound system and microphone ready to go.
The club room: a smaller space beside the surf club bar for groups that don't need the whole first floor.
The terrace at Avoca Beach House: seated multi-course meals or cocktail-style parties for 11 to 80, looking 180 degrees over the surf.
Kookaburra Room set-ups: a long-table banquet with white linen, round tables or a cocktail party, with the timber beams dressed to suit a theme.

Cake, decorations and getting home

Bringing a cake: Avoca Beach House accepts your own birthday cake for a small cake-age fee.
Balloons: Avoca Beach House welcomes table decorations and balloons, but not glitter or confetti.
Drinks: Avoca Beach House and The Surf Club Avoca Beach can both run a bar tab, and the surf club pours cocktails, wine and beer.
Getting everyone home: the hotel runs a courtesy bus when booked ahead, parking costs nothing, and rooms are there for anyone staying over.
