A relaxed bushland retreat for life’s big occasions
Avoca Beach Hotel is a relaxed coastal retreat set on 15 acres of bushland, just 2km from Avoca’s stunning beach and only 90 minutes from Sydney and Newcastle. Our indoor and outdoor venues are surrounded by native gardens, giving every celebration a tranquil, leafy backdrop.
From intimate parties to fully seated wedding receptions for 100 and cocktail parties for 150, our venues are flexible enough for the occasion and personal enough to feel like yours. A dedicated Events Manager works with you on the space, seating, catering, décor and more, so your day runs smoothly.
Christmas parties amongst the trees
Escape the ordinary office Christmas party and gather amongst the gums in the Kookaburra Room, Treetops Café or Saltwater Bar & Bistro. With leafy surrounds, and relaxed indoor and outdoor vibe, they're the perfect place to celebrate the festive season.
Whether you're planning a corporate Christmas lunch, an end-of-year team celebration or a festive gathering with family and friends, we cater for groups of 30 to 100 guests.
Choose from delicious grazing boards, generous sharing platters or festive two and three-course set menus for your meal.
