Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

A Highlands birthday can be a club lunch with the extended family, a pub dinner with a dance floor or a quiet degustation in a farmhouse. Choosing the town first narrows things quickly, since each village has its own mix of rooms.

Where each kind of birthday fits:

  • Casual lunches and big family gatherings suit the club on Bundanoon Oval, with menus from $35 per person
  • Pub birthdays work well in Berrima's sandstone inn, which takes groups of 10 to 100 from $40 per person, or at Robertson's timber pub with four rooms
  • Milestone dinners for 12 to 40 fit the private dining rooms of Bowral's boutique hotels, from $95 per person
  • An exclusive-use farmhouse restaurant in Burradoo seats up to 52 for a set menu at $175 per person
  • Bigger parties with dancing can look at Robertson's manor hotel ballroom from $39 per person or a Bundanoon pub with a $1,400 minimum spend

If guests are coming from further afield, a guest house in Bundanoon offers set dinners from $85 per person and whole-of-house stays. See more ideas on the birthday party, 40th birthday party and 60th birthday party pages.

Matching the room to the guest list

  • Under 20 guests: a hotel private dining room or a golf clubhouse board room keeps conversation easy
  • 20 to 60 guests: a guesthouse dining room or a farmhouse booked exclusively
  • 60 to 150 guests: pub function rooms, the club auditorium or a hotel ballroom
  • Check whether a room is fully private or semi-private before inviting a speech-heavy crowd

Extras worth arranging

  • A DJ or photobooth for a party that runs into the evening
  • A cake fee or dessert option, since some set menus already include one
  • Shared transport home for guests staying in another village

Winter and summer birthdays

  • June to August birthdays suit a fireside table, and several hotels run warming set menus
  • Warmer months open up courtyards, verandahs and beer gardens for afternoon drinks
  • Garden spaces at manor hotels and guesthouses make a good backdrop for group photos in spring

Which Highlands venues have room for dancing at a birthday?

Can birthday guests stay over at the venue in the Highlands?

Guesthouses and hotels in Bowral, Moss Vale and Bundanoon have rooms, and one Bundanoon guest house books out the whole house. Ask about weekend minimum stays.

Is a minimum spend common for Highlands birthday venues?

Some pubs prefer one, such as a $1,400 minimum spend at a Bundanoon hotel, while clubs and restaurants usually charge per person. Ask what counts towards it, such as food, drinks or both.
