The Westport Club
About
Overview & Vibe
The Westport Club sits on Buller Street in Port Macquarie, looking straight out over the Hastings River, and calls its Event Centre one of the largest event spaces on the Mid North Coast. It publishes a full room matrix and a celebrations pack updated in July 2026.
Setting & Style
The rooms are the draw, and the views come with them. The Hastings Room is the biggest at 269 square metres — 180 for a banquet, 230 cocktail — with a full private bar, a ceiling-mounted projector and screen, and its own bathrooms inside the room. The River Room is the sought-after one, 160 square metres of panoramic river views, soft-tone furnishings and glistening lights at night, at 80 banquet or 100 cocktail. Combined, the two make 424 square metres for 250 seated or 330 standing. A Pre-Function space in its own nook off Jimmy’s Bar & Lounge handles 40 seated or 50 cocktail. An easy walk to the town centre and the beaches, ten minutes from the airport, with ample parking.

Couples wanting a large riverfront reception in Port Macquarie with published menu prices, in-house AV and everything on one level.

Price Notes
- The Westport Club publishes its catering prices in a celebrations pack dated July 2026, but not its room hire. Every food and drink page carries the note 'room hire costs apply', and no hire figure appears in either the celebrations pack or the 2025 venue booklet - so the venue rental is the one number a couple has to request.
- Banquet service is $55 per guest for two courses or $70 for three, minimum 20 guests, choosing two dishes from each course served alternately. Additional extras are priced per guest on top: chef's selection canapes $5, garlic bread $4, antipasto $8, a fresh prawn plate $10, garden salad $3, seasonal fruit plate $7 and a cheeseboard $10.
- Grazing platters are priced each, for a minimum of 10 guests: crusty bread and house-made dips $80; antipasto, cheese board, assorted sandwiches or wraps, fresh seasonal fruit, and assorted cakes, slices and treats all $100; hot finger food, vegetarian finger food and a gluten free platter $120 each; premium finger food $150; and a hot and cold seafood platter $180. Individual platters of 20 pieces run from $95 for mini bruschetta, duck spring rolls or house-made arancini, through $125 for zucchini flowers, coconut prawns or salt and pepper squid cones, $130 for beer-battered flathead cones, to $150 for Wagyu cheeseburger sliders, pulled pork sliders or mini boutique sweet treats. Barista-made coffee and assorted tea is $4.50 per guest with a minimum of 10.
- Drinks packages require a minimum of 10 guests and are $32 per guest for two hours, $43 for three and $57 for four, covering tap beers, Vivo wines, stubbies including cider and soft drinks, with other domestic range beers available on request. Bespoke packages are available on request through the events team.
- Package inclusions listed on the venue page: high-spec audio and visual equipment; an individual team member dedicated to supporting the whole planning process; private bar and restrooms when booking the Hastings Room or the Hastings River Rooms; expansive water views when booking the River Room, the Hastings River Rooms or the Pre-Function Area; menu options catered to dietary requirements; on-site IT support for setup and troubleshooting on the day; and fully accessible, inclusive spaces including lift access.
