A December work party in Manly feels like the start of summer holidays. Long daylight evenings, the ocean at the end of The Corso and a ferry ride across the harbour give a Christmas party a sense of occasion that a function room near the office rarely matches. For teams based in the city, the ferry from Circular Quay is itself the transport plan: everyone leaves work together and arrives at Manly Wharf, a short walk from the venue. The Rooftop Garden Bar @ New Brighton Hotel is hired exclusively, so the team has the whole open-air rooftop with views over Manly towards Shelly Beach.
What to plan for a Christmas party in Manly:
Manly also suits teams already based on the Northern Beaches, who can reach The Corso without crossing the bridge. Whether the team is coming from the city or down the road, send an enquiry with your preferred date, headcount and budget to check what the venue can offer for an end-of-year celebration. Staff who live locally can simply walk or catch a bus in, while city staff share the ferry both ways, which keeps the evening easy to manage for whoever is organising it.
Yes, as long as the team uses the ferry. It runs from Circular Quay to Manly Wharf, and New Brighton Hotel is a short walk up The Corso, so there's no need for coaches or parking.
The Rooftop Garden Bar at New Brighton Hotel holds up to 75 guests as an exclusive hire. It suits a small or mid-sized business, or one department of a larger company.
Fridays in late November and December are the first dates to go for work functions. Enquiring by winter gives you the widest choice of dates.
The Rooftop Garden Bar @ New Brighton Hotel is priced from $3,500 minimum spend, used on food and drinks. Your final cost depends on headcount, menu and drinks package.
