A gorgeous light-filled space

We’re loved for our space, with our stunning glass roof that is fully retractable. We have it open on sunny days so you can soak up the rays- or choose a shaded area if that’s what you prefer. This is Melbourne so we’re quick to close the roof when the weather changes!

Our plethora of indoor plants across a large space create an instantly welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re here to work alone or meet friends, the space will always feel bright and welcoming.

With multiple areas available- from our cosy Fireplace Lounge, elegant Wine Room- think Private Dining behind the curtains- and airy Atrium, to the relaxed vibes of The Lawn- we’ve got you covered from birthdays and baby showers to work functions and long lunches. And for something truly forgettable, the entire venue is available for exclusive hire for that extra special celebration.
