Hens Party Venues in The Entrance & Tuggerah Lakes

How to Choose the Right Hens Party Venue

Bride-to-be, bridal party, a covered garden full of greenery and a bar tab set to whatever the group agreed: hens nights at The Lakes Hotel can be as relaxed or as loud as the group wants. The heritage-listed art deco pub stands at 201 The Entrance Road, in the lakeside-and-ocean town that gives this region its name. Space hire costs nothing in any of its four function areas, which leaves more of the hens kitty for drinks, food and decorations. Planning the hens around The Lakes Hotel:

Afternoon catch-up: the fully covered Beer Garden, with ambient lighting and good airflow, seats or stands 80.
A softer setting: the architect-designed Tiled Lounge takes 80, with a range of seating for a sit-down lunch.
Night out: the Front Bar holds 120, with its own bar and room for a dance floor, a DJ and karaoke.
Sharing food: party platters ordered ahead suit a standing crowd, and the bistro handles sit-down groups.
Dressing it up: any area can be decorated, with balloons and decorations arranged through the functions team.

Because the pub also runs weekend entertainment, a hens group that starts in a private area can stay on as the night builds rather than moving on to a next stop.

The booking deposit converts to bar tab credit on the day.
With no venue hire, a semi-private area can work for a small group of close friends as well as a big crowd.
