Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Birthday venues around Port Stephens suit everything from a relaxed 30th on a deck to a 60th dinner for the whole extended family. Guest numbers matter most, since rooms here range from a dining nook for 40 to auditoriums for several hundred.

Match the venue to the kind of birthday:

  • Milestone dinners: golf and bowling clubs offer set menus, a private bar and a dance floor, from $33 per person at Nelson Bay and $50 per person at Soldiers Point
  • Drinks and canapés: a golf club event room at Medowie offers canapés from $20 per person, and a café at Anna Bay can be taken over for a cocktail party
  • Pub parties: the upstairs restaurant and rooftop terrace of a riverside pub in Raymond Terrace, with a $2,500 minimum spend
  • Family gatherings: a farm restaurant at Bobs Farm with a veranda by the pond, or a heritage homestead at Tanilba Bay with gardens for children to roam
  • Weekend birthdays: a forest garden at One Mile with cabins, from $1,100 room hire, for a party that rolls into the next day

Where a venue leaves music or food to you, add DJs or caterers. For things to do around the bay, see birthday party ideas.
