The Terrace

By the lake in the Royal Botanic Gardens, the Terrace is a place for every occasion.

Located in the unrivalled setting of Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens, a true Melbourne icon is revitalised – a conservatory by an ornamental lake. Equal parts romance, Australiana, cool botanica and modern grandeur, The Terrace is a place for every occasion, every celebration of life, from the ritual of morning coffee and hot scones to long lunches and unforgettable, world-class events.

The Lakeside venue provides the perfect backdrop for any special occasion. With uninterrupted views across the Ornamental Lake and city beyond, guests can mingle in the covered alfresco area while taking in the beauty of their surrounds. The venue features floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the interior with natural light and open onto an expansive outdoor terrace overlooking the Ornamental Lake of the Gardens and Melbourne’s iconic skyline. The space seamlessly combines indoor sophistication with the natural outdoor beauty of the stunning Royal Botanic Gardens.
