Planning a family function in the hills

October 2026

A birthday, a family get-together or a small celebration feels different when it happens in the hills. The setting is calm, the air is cool and everyone has time to enjoy each other. Here is how to plan one without stress.

1. Fix your dates and guest count

Decide when you want to come and roughly how many people will join. This helps us arrange rooms, seating and food, and it is the most useful thing you can tell us at the start.

2. Choose where to stay

We have Classic Rooms, View Rooms with balconies and a Wooden Cottage. Families often like the cottage because it gives everyone a shared space to sit together.

3. Tell us how you want it to feel

Our spaces can be dressed with flowers and balloons for celebrations, and our restaurant team can handle food for your guests. Tell us what kind of occasion it is and what you have in mind.

4. Keep the day relaxed

Leave some time free before and after the main event. Guests enjoy the celebration more when nobody is rushing, and a quiet evening at the rooftop cafe is a lovely way to end the day.

To begin, send us an enquiry on the Lawn and Events page or call us. We will go through the details with you and help plan the rest.
