Birthday Party Venues in Nerang

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Nerang gives a birthday two quite different settings. Hinterland Hotel is a pub beside the Nerang River with private rooms that scale from a dinner party to a crowd of hundreds, while Nerang Community Bowls Club builds the party around a game on the green.

How the two Nerang options compare for a birthday:

Size: the hotel's Garden Room seats 80, and opening it into the River Room creates a space for 280 seated or 400 standing.
Activity: the bowls club gives each guest two hours of barefoot bowls with gear and coaching from staff, with no experience needed.
Price guides: the hotel lists from $70 per person, and the club lists from $10 per person.
Food: the hotel offers platters, set menus and a roast buffet, while the club has platters or its Rinks Bistro.
Smaller groups: a private corner of the hotel's sports bar, or the club's function room split into a smaller space.

Families should note that the club welcomes kids, while 21sts at the hotel come with a security requirement.

Set apart from the main pub, the Garden Room has French glass windows, a private bar, its own toilets and air conditioning.
In cocktail style that same room fits 120, and it suits parties of 40 or more who bring their own music or entertainment.
The River Room is entered through double French doors and seats up to 150, with a big bar inside.
Booking a 21st means paying for a security guard, so tell the events team the occasion at the start.

Barefoot bowls birthdays on the Nerang greens

One grass green and one synthetic green are available, both lined with trees.
Bowls can be played under lights at night when at least 20 people take part.
The air-conditioned function room faces the greens and can host the cake, speeches and food afterwards.
Celebration cakes are welcome by arrangement, and a 20% deposit secures the date.
