•Karstens venues offer a range of premium conference, meeting and function spaces across Australia and New Zealand. With our Central CBD locations, our venues provide a dedicated and professional space for clients who value a business environment without the distractions that come with multi-purpose venues or hotels.
Flexibility: We tailor your event to your requirements, offering a range of flexible seating layouts, audio/visual configurations and gourmet catering options. We also offer the option to downsize your booking to a smaller or larger room if the number of attendees changes closer to your event date*.
Comfort & Space: All Karstens venues provide rooms with natural daylight, comfortable breakout areas, free Wi-Fi, Nespresso coffee and a selection of premium teas. This provides the perfect environment to relax, refresh and network.
Gourmet in-house catering: We strongly believe in quality over quantity, especially when it comes to food. That’s why we offer a full gourmet in-house catering experience with a variety of healthy menu options. Common dietary requirements are provided at no extra cost. Central CBD
Locations with on-site car parking: All of our venues are conveniently located right in the heart of the CBD, close to hotels, cafes, restaurants, shopping and public transport. Each of our venues also offer ample on-site parking (or parking close by) to ensure that your attendees always have an easy arrival and departure.
Fully renovated, modern and high-tech: Our venues provide a truly modern executive space fully equipped with the latest technology and infrastructure. This includes comfortable eight-hour chairs, free Wi-Fi, fast fibre optic internet connection and video/telephone conferencing facilities in all rooms (on request).
Dedicated point of contact: We offer a dedicated Conference Coordinator for all your bookings in Australia and New Zealand. Our coordinator ensures that each of your events is managed seamlessly from start to finish. Rebooking or rolling out a road show is easy, as we can rebook your previous event or book the same event across all of our venues.
Easy booking process: Having to fill out, sign and scan lengthy Terms and Conditions forms is a thing of the past. Just click the link with your quote and fill out the confirmation form and your event is confirmed.
No deposit needed: Unlike other venues, we don’t require a deposit for bookings under $5,000.00. This saves you having to make two payments and obtain the required approvals — a convenient way to save you time and no need to organise payments before the event. Karstens invoices you after the event.

Wonderful venue, rooms were had everything we needed. The staff there are lovely and helpful, at reception and the staff assigned to our rooms. The coffee machines available are great, as was the food. They catered to all our groups needs.
Great for internal events, ie if you don't need to impress anyone like clients. We were in adjoining rooms1202 or something like that. Very low tech. No plugs for lap tops at the tables, no lectern and when it arrived it didn't have an integrated microphone, and the speaker's computer would slide off so they had to leave it on the table next to them and bend over to read. No lapel microphones so the speakers had to hold a big microphone the whole time. It's a tired old building but it's been tarted up well enough. The toilet seats have deteriorated and smell like old plastic akin to BO. Staff were great, food was pretty good, nespresso machine is always a bonus! Chairs were decent for a 6 hour day. Great location. Really well lit, so you don't feel like you're in a time warp.
Phil and Sam were excellent in ensuring connectivity, webinar, and sound was perfect for our event, even though it didn't start til after 5pm. Venue perfect, and staff were fab! Thanks.
Can’t recommend this venue. Expensive, second hand mis matched furniture and “fast” internet costs more. Over $1000 for two rooms for the day. Avoid!
Excellent venue for meetings, food was very tasty and had so many options. Such friendly and respectful service, very quick to respond to any queries, and helpful in catering for specific dietary requirements.
