Kipara Tropical Rainforest Retreat

The Kipara Hall offers an extraordinary event space where the tranquility of the tropical rainforest meets total flexibility. This is your ultimate dry-hire, blank canvas venue in the Whitsundays region, perfect for everything from large corporate conferences (up to 80 seated) and community functions to weddings and major celebrations (up to 130 standing). The main hall is a 225m² open-plan space defined by soaring ceilings, polished timber floors, and extensive windowing that floods the room with natural light and provides stunning views of the lush, green surroundings. The design ensures a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor mingling. Key Features: Self-Catering Advantage (BYO/Dry Hire): Unlike restrictive hotel venues, we operate a genuine dry-hire model. You are welcome to BYO your own alcohol (saving thousands on bar tabs!) and hire the caterer of your choice. We provide a functional, commercial-grade kitchen for preparation and service. The Kipara Deck: Arrive directly on our covered timber deck. This versatile space is ideal for welcome drinks, cocktail hour, smoking area, or simply taking in the fresh air under the canopy. Flexible Setup: The open floor plan means you can custom-design the layout for any need—formal banquet, theatre-style seating, cocktail party, or workshop stations. Inclusions: Air-conditioning, dedicated male/female/disabled facilities, ample on-site parking, and basic AV equipment setup are included to ensure your event runs smoothly. Choose Kipara Hall for an unforgettable, budget-conscious event where nature sets the scene, and you control the details.
