The CIS Event Management team were delighted to attend a recent event at the newly updated Gardens House in Melbourne’s divine Royal Botanic Gardens. On this month’s What’s New – Venues Of The Moment, we spoke to the team at Atlantic Group to find out about the exciting changes at their incredible Melbourne event space.
Situated in the midst of the picturesque Royal Botanic Gardens, Gardens House has had a complete interior refresh.
‘The stunning heritage façade remains unchanged, although when you step through the front door, you are greeted by styling that is both modern and chic’.
Surrounded by beautiful, precisely manicured foliage and gardens, the private property can be a beautiful backdrop for a lavish party, a sophisticated soiree or a scenic serenity for a corporate retreat. Functionally, the homestead is available as a whole or by individual room
Upon entry, you’ll find the lower level lounge, The Palm Lounge. This exquisite, serene room allows for relaxation and refined comfort. Rejuvenate from the day’s activities within this oasis of calm. Perfect also for an intimate cocktail gathering or corporate lounge setting.
Across the hall, you will find the Garnet Room, a lower level dining room. Decorated in warm tones and complete with stunning feature pieces, this room invites with feelings of a familiar and friendly space.
‘The eight-seater dining table creates the perfect setting for lavish dinner parties as well as an intimate board room setting and a sophisticated and personal atmosphere’
Ascend our stair case to our second floor and find yourself in the Garden View Room.
‘This charismatic long room overlooks the stunning front lawn and lavish garden and is always flooded with natural light’.
A versatile space which can be transformed from a large dining room to a cocktail party depending on your wishes and needs.
At the rear of the second level is the Terrace. This beautiful balcony exhibits the same heritage style as the exterior of the home. Overlooking the rear garden and beyond to the surrounding Royal Botanic Gardens, breath in the exquisite fresh air, floral scents and natural beauty.
‘With ample space in both the front and rear gardens, this property is perfect for outdoor events’
Gardens House is such a versatile space, available as the complete property or by particular room. Business events can take the form of alfresco garden parties, black tie cocktail parties, dinner parties and high tea style events. The homestead is perfect for a multitude of business events including client dinner parties, boardroom meetings, product launches, presentations and conferences.
