Baby Shower Wollongong

A baby shower is planned around the guest of honour: somewhere easy to reach, a comfortable seat, and food that turns up without anyone fussing. The Wollongong options here run from a beachfront lunch to a pub courtyard to a homestead garden.

North Beach Pavilion sits in the heritage bathers pavilion on North Wollongong Beach and serves pizza and pasta share menus for 10 to 48 guests, from $65 per person. Towradgi Beach Hotel has five function areas, including Hamptons-style cabanas, with buffets from $40 per person. At Central Hotel Shellharbour, the fairy-lit Garden Courtyard seats 70, and the heated upstairs Deck has lake views and no room hire.

For a larger family gathering, Ravensthorpe Estate in Albion Park is an 1890s homestead set in three acres of gardens, hired exclusively, with a pavilion that has its own kitchen and bar.
