About Narrabeen Sands Hotel
The Narrabeen Sands Hotel is a pub and accommodation hotel at 1260 Pittwater Road, Narrabeen, on the Northern Beaches. Alongside its bistro, two bars and 47 guest rooms, it runs a steady functions business: birthdays, engagements, wedding receptions, christenings, work lunches and sporting presentations, handled by an in-house functions team. There are four spaces to choose from. The Ocean Bar Function Room is the largest, a tiled room for up to 120 with full-height sliding windows that open it to the outdoors or close it off for privacy. Driftwood Corner is sectioned off from the main floor for 30 to 40 guests and works best for seated dinners and group lunches. The Terrace is an alfresco area for 30 to 50 with a roof that opens or closes, plus heating and cooling, and looks out towards the ocean. Upstairs, the conference room has AV, a projector with HDMI, natural light and a private balcony, and sets up for 40 cocktail-style or 30 theatre-style. Food is organised as canape packages for groups of at least 20, with add-on pizza slabs, grazing and fruit platters, and dessert canapes. Corporate day packages cover morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. For drinks, hosts can run a bar tab with chosen drinks and a set limit, with wristbands for guests, or let guests buy their own at a cash bar. Every space is available any day of the week, and a deposit confirms the booking.
