Cocktail Party Venues

Marybrooke Manor is an English Tudor-style guesthouse in the Dandenong Ranges, perfectly designed to host any event – from cocktail parties to seated dinners.

Our wine garden is a great outdoor space with wooden tables, umbrellas, wine barrels, and a bar – all with a forest view and direct access to our multiple acres of gardens! It’s perfect for engagement parties, hens/bachelorette days, work functions, birthdays, and more. Marybrooke also has multiple indoor options for cocktail-style feasting and drinks, if that’s more your vibe.

If you and your guests don’t want to drive the winding mountains after your event, you can stay at our on-site accommodation, which has 20 rooms, including an apartment and residence for your most important guests.
