Birthday Party Venues in Mornington & Mount Martha

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Mornington's birthday options sit at opposite ends of town. The Rocks Mornington looks over the harbour at Schnapper Point, while The Nook is tucked into the industrial estate on Progress Street.

Inland at Tuerong, Dromana Estate adds a winery setting with far more room than either.

How the three compare for a party:

Your own caterer and drinks – The Nook hires out a light-filled room with a courtyard for up to 80 at a birthday, from $500 room hire
Seafood by the water – The Rocks Mornington serves shared group menus from $85 per person, with the deck's cocktail bar for drinks on arrival
A big milestone – up to 200 can stand in The Stables at Dromana Estate, a timber-beamed hall with a deck outside
Something intimate – the homestead at Dromana Estate is a period room with a large open fireplace for up to 60 seated
Exclusive use – the whole of The Rocks Mornington can be booked for up to 250 cocktail-style or 130 seated

Give each venue your date, headcount and preferred food style – seated or roaming – when you enquire.
