Birthday Party Venues in Newport

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Newport puts Pittwater on one side and the surf on the other, and its birthday venues follow suit. Royal Motor Yacht Club Broken Bay looks over the marina, Newport Surf Life Saving Club sits on the beach, and Lovat is a grill restaurant on Barrenjoey Road.

Matching a Newport birthday to the right room:

A big milestone with dancing: the yacht club's main second-level room holds 300 for cocktails, or 150 once a dance floor goes in.
A casual beach party: Newport Surf Life Saving Club gives you the hall, bar and deck for six hours, with room for 200 standing.
A long lunch for 10 to 40: Lovat splits its dining room into three semi-private areas, with tables outside too.
Your own caterer: only the surf club allows it, with a commercial kitchen and a BBQ on the deck.
Prices: Lovat lists From $64 per person, the yacht club From $45 per person and the surf club From $550 room hire.
