The Customs House has four highly unique private event spaces suitable for an intimate get-together with friends, formal dinners, workshops or weddings
Bookings for up to 50 people standing, 40 people seated.
The original Courtroom features an exquisitely high ceiling with opulent lighting, polished timber floors, roaring open fire, harbour views, and a staffed bar. Guests will make a grand entrance into this breathtaking space via the seafront or winding courtyards. The space will accommodate two long tables seating up to 20 people each, or a series of smaller round tables. The adjacent Magistrates Office offers a second smaller area for lounging or intimate dining (max 6 people seated). Use of kitchen and bathroom facilities is included.
A door within the courtroom opens onto a maze of courtyards surrounded by rustic stone walls. Partly roofed in sections, this picturesque area with its character window overlooking the harbour serves as an alluring ‘overflow’ for courtroom functions that require some additional space or focal points.
Bookings for up to 12 people.
Enjoy brunch, a long lunch or dinner party in the original exercise yard for the inmates. This cosy open-air space with festoon lighting is situated alongside the kitchen, offering an intimate gourmet experience with your chosen caterer.
This fully paved courtyard bordered by manicured hedges and fragrant roses will suit a larger crowd. Sheltered from the coastal sea breezes by the magnificent Customs House building, it has direct kitchen access and enough space to fit an open-air soiree or marquee.
Please note that portable bathrooms or toilets will need to be hired at the guest’s expense, as the Custom House’s historic bathroom facilities will not cope with large crowds.
Plan a seaside soirée in our incredible indoor and outdoor spaces, or stay in your own self-contained 2BR or 3BR two-storey apartment inside this heritage-listed oceanfront mansion steeped in maritime history. Book your stay directly through our website for the best available price.
