About Kiama Downs Surf Life Saving Club
Kiama Downs Surf Life Saving Club sits at the northern end of Jones Beach and patrols that stretch of sand through the warmer months. Its clubhouse hall can be hired by club members and the general public alike. The hall is a plain, open room with glass doors along the beach side and a deck outside, so the ocean forms the backdrop. It comes with 14 trestle tables and 100 chairs, and you can bring in extra furniture once the club approves it. There is a full kitchen where you can cook a three-course meal or simply heat finger food, along with plates and cutlery for 100 and a commercial dishwasher. Catering is up to you, which suits families and groups who like to bring their own food. The club runs a licensed bar with its own staff at no extra charge, and drinks are bought over the bar. If you'd rather not use the bar you can bring your own alcohol, though the glassware stays locked away and you take on responsibility for liquor rules. Daytime hire runs from 11am to 4pm at a fixed $250, while evening bookings start at midday and finish at 9am the next day, at $1,000 for non-members. A $50 deposit and a signed hire agreement hold the date, with the balance and a cash bond due on the day. The hall can be booked as a one-off or as a regular weekly hire. The club does not take bookings for 18th birthday parties.

Frequently asked questions
Can non-members hire the hall?
Yes. The hall is open to the public as well as club members, either as a one-off function or as a regular weekly hire.
How much does it cost to hire?
Daytime hire from 11am to 4pm is a fixed $250. An evening booking, from 12pm on the day to 9am the next morning, is $1,000 for non-members, and access the day before adds $120.
Can we bring our own drinks?
Only if you don't use the bar. When the bar is used, all alcohol is bought through it and the bar staff come at no extra cost; without the bar, BYO is allowed but the glassware isn't available.

No. The club does not accept hall bookings for 18th birthday parties.
When do we collect the key and clean up?
Keys are usually collected at 12pm on Fridays and 10am on weekends unless arranged otherwise. The stairs, hall, kitchen, toilets and deck need to be clean by 9am, and the key goes back around 10am the morning after.
