Honeysuckle Hotel
About
Overview & Vibe
The Honeysuckle Hotel sits on Wharf C on Honeysuckle Drive, right on the edge of Newcastle Harbour in the redeveloped foreshore precinct.
Setting & Style
Three private and semi-private spaces handle events. The Mezzanine runs along Level One as an open area available for full or part floor hire, overlooking the ground floor so the room keeps the atmosphere of the pub below while holding its own bar access — it takes up to two hundred and twenty guests cocktail or banquet style. The Harbour Room is the opposite proposition: a completely private section of The Deck, separated by a glass wall and covered by a sail, looking straight out over the water and seating up to seventy. The hotel itself carries a restaurant, a harbourside deck, the Pier, several bars and live shows.
Ideal For
Couples wanting an affordable harbourside reception in a working Newcastle pub, with the water at the edge of the room.

- Up to 220 guests on the Mezzanine; up to 70 in the Harbour Room.
- The Mezzanine is available for full or part floor hire and is semi-private.
