FUNCTION VENUE IN MELBOURNE
Function Venue Hire in Melbourne
Hobsons Bay Hotel is a local favourite. Its venue has a bayside charm with modern flexibility. Whether you are hosting a wedding, a milestone birthday, a corporate function, or a community gathering, our venue provides a stylish, versatile setting that feels both welcoming and memorable.
A Venue That Works for Every Event
Our hotel spans three levels, each with spaces that adapt to your needs. The rooftop bar delivers sweeping views of Williamstown Bay, ideal for sunset weddings, cocktail parties, and private functions. The first-floor balcony blends indoor comfort with fresh air, perfect for mid-sized gatherings. For private, smaller occasions, our dining room offers a warm, elegant setting. Each area can be hired individually or combined for exclusive use.

Why Our Venue Stands Out
Location, character, and service come together at Hobsons Bay Hotel. Our bayside position in Williamstown is convenient for visitors travelling from the CBD, the western suburbs, and coastal areas. The building’s historic features have been preserved and refreshed, creating a setting with genuine warmth and modern style. Our team is known for attention to detail and a friendly approach, giving every guest the feeling of being valued and welcomed.
