Celebrate by the river. Stay the night. Remember it all year.
Three function rooms, a deck over the Burnett River, a kitchen that cooks properly, and forty-three rooms directly upstairs. Tables are decorated, glasses are filled at sunset, and nobody has to think about how they are getting home.
Every Christmas booking includes the same care, whichever package you choose: decorated areas and tables, festive bon bons and Santa hats, carols on rotation, a choice of sparkling or eggnog on arrival, free undercover parking, full AV in the Burnett and Vue rooms, and one coordinator from your first enquiry to the final pack-down.
Our shared Christmas party. One afternoon on the river, live entertainment, and a festive alternate-drop menu — booked by the seat rather than by the room, so a team of four gets the same Christmas as a team of forty.
Two courses $80 · three courses $90 · groups of 2 to 10
The menu is the same as Taste the Season — entrée, main and dessert, alternate drop.
Modelled on our Sunday Sessions, which Bundaberg already knows. We are trialling one date this year — if it sells out, a second Sunday follows.

Parties of twenty or more can hold a group of rooms at a negotiated rate with a later checkout — which is the simplest answer there is to the question of who is driving.
Ask us about a group rate when you enquire, or see our rooms.
The Burnett Room seats 60 for a banquet or holds 60 standing. The Quay and Vue Rooms each take 20 seated or 30 standing, and open together for larger groups. All three combined hold up to 120.
Full capacities by layout are on our functions page.
A Burnett Riverside voucher covers dinner at H2O, a night upstairs, or both. Ask at reception or call 07 4155 8777.
