BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS
WEST LODGE
AND MAITLAND ROOM
FULL OF CHARACTER
The West Lodge and Maitland Rooms were completely refurbished in 2019. Overflowing with personality, infused in every décor piece, lighting fixture, and furnishing, these two rooms balance nineteenth-century elegance with a contemporary edge providing a beautiful environment for lunches, private dinners and networking events.
DINING

Our Gala Dinner choices are overflowing with fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients – each one handled by our expert chefs – plus a range of extraordinary wines. Our gala dinners include silverware, fresh cut flowers, candelabras, and table linen as standard – plus menu cards and bespoke signage.
