PRIVATE FUNCTIONS AT OUR AWARD-WINNING RESTAURANTS
Private Dining at Aru
Aru is the most awarded restaurant in our group, with a menu distinguished by its modern take on Southeast Asian flavours and dishes, deft mingling of native Australian ingredients, and fun, playful creations.
The restaurant has two private dining areas - Banda, a beautiful spotted gum lined room that can be closed off from the restaurant and seats 12, and The Terrace, which seats 30 and has a view of Aru's wine wall.
Both spaces can be booked separately or together. The entire venue can also be hired out for private events.
Join us for a cocktail function, or a sit-down set menu for lunch and dinner.

Private Dining at Antara
The newest addition to our restaurant group, Antara is a stunning bakery and restaurant in-one, with a generous dining hall and private and semi-private dining area.
This is a venue to dazzle and entertain, with the kitchen, large wood-fired oven and dough room as theatre. Cloister away in the private dining room, where Swiss-made lights, evocative of soft clouds, are suspended overhead. Or open up the tall bi-fold doors to hire out the semi-private and private dining spaces, complete with its own bar.
The private dining room seats 14-20, and the semi-private dining space, 28. The entire venue can also be hired (90 - 150) along with the standing bar at the front.
Antara is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
