Palms beside the salt lakes on Rottnest Island

An events centre, a restaurant and 109 rooms on one island site. Your guests arrive once, and everything happens within a short walk.

Built for the occasion

Whatever you are hosting, it fits here.

The same spaces reconfigure for the day you have in mind.

Corporate offsites

Get the team properly off site. Sessions in the events centre, debriefs at Sunsets, and rooms a short walk away so the day does not end at 5pm.

Conferences & meetings

Configurations from 10 to 100, with the salt lakes out the window instead of a car park. Multi day agendas work because nobody has to travel between venues.

Weddings

Ceremony, reception and guest rooms on one site. Your people stay the weekend, so the celebration carries on over breakfast rather than stopping for the last ferry.

Milestone celebrations

Big birthdays, anniversaries and reunions. Up to 160 standing, with dining, drinks and accommodation all handled in the one booking.

Group dining at Sunsets

Feasting menus for smaller groups, with views over the salt lakes. Right for client lunches, team catch ups and family gatherings.

Christmas parties

Festive packages for work Christmas parties and end of year celebrations, with venue hire included.

What you get

One enquiry, one team, one island.

Rather than assembling an event from five suppliers, you have a single conversation with the people who will run the day.

  • The events centre overlooking the salt lakes, for 120 seated or 160 standing.
  • Conference configurations from 10 to 100, for meetings, sessions and planning days.
  • Sunsets Bar and Dining for group dining, long lunches and arrival drinks.
  • Food and beverages handled in house, from canapes and feasting menus to seated dining.
  • Group accommodation across 109 rooms, so your guests stay rather than commute.
  • An events team to shape the run sheet around your day and manage it on the ground.
  • The island itself: salt lakes, beaches and bikes, already built into the agenda.
Getting started

From enquiry to a proposal, in three steps.

STEP 01

Tell us about your event

Send through your dates, rough guest numbers and the occasion. It takes about a minute and there is no obligation.

STEP 02

We check the date and the fit

Our events team comes back to you on availability, the right space for your numbers, and how the day could run.

STEP 03

Receive a tailored proposal

You get a proposal built around your event, covering the space, catering and accommodation for your group.

Good to know

Function venue questions, answered.

The events centre takes up to 120 guests seated or 160 standing. For conferences and meetings we configure the room for groups from 10 to 100. Sunsets Bar and Dining handles smaller group bookings. Tell us your numbers and we will confirm the right space.

Yes. There are 109 rooms on site across the Courtyard, Lake and Poolhouse wings, so your group can stay where the event is held. This is the main reason events here tend to become weekends rather than evenings. Let us know your room numbers with your enquiry.

By ferry, with services running from Fremantle, Perth and Hillarys. Most groups travel together, which turns the crossing into the start of the event rather than a commute. We can help you think through ferry timings when we put your proposal together.

Yes, food and beverages are handled in house. That covers canapes, feasting menus and seated dining, along with beverage service through the event. It is one conversation with one team rather than coordinating separate suppliers.

It depends on the space, the season, your guest numbers and whether accommodation is included, so we price each event individually rather than publishing a rate that would not fit your day. Send through your details and we will come back with a tailored proposal.

As early as you can, particularly for weddings and for the November and December period, when both the events centre and island accommodation book up. If your date is close, still ask. We will tell you honestly what is available.

Our events team will be in touch to confirm availability for your date and talk through what you are planning. From there we build a proposal covering the space, catering and accommodation, with no obligation to proceed.
