## The room

One function room built over the Georges River, with cathedral ceilings, exposed timber and full-height windows onto the water. It opens onto a wraparound deck where morning tea and lunch are served.

The room seats 60 at round tables of six to eight, so the whole group can see the screen, hear each other and work as a table. In 2026 we grouped tables by service where we could.

- Screen, projector and a wireless microphone
- Free Wi-Fi for every guest
- White linen, notepads, pens and water on every table
- A venue coordinator and wait staff on hand all day

## The river, the bay and the bridge

From your table you look across the river towards Botany Bay and the Captain Cook Bridge. The deck runs right around the building over the water.

## Getting there

Doors open at 8:45am. The day runs 9am to 4:30pm.

### Drive and park

Street parking was free in 2026. Try these in order.

1. Free street parking on Riverside Drive, right outside the club. Spaces are limited, so allow ten to fifteen minutes.
2. Overflow parking on Rocky Point Road, on the east side near the Captain Cook Bridge. It is about a five minute walk along the waterfront path under the bridge.
3. The St George Motor Boat Club car park at 2 Wellington Street, about a kilometre from the club, is another option if the street is full.
