Dundee's on the Waterfront
About
Overview & Vibe
Dundee's sits on Marlin Parade at the Cairns waterfront, looking straight out over Trinity Inlet to the mountains behind — one of the largest seated dining rooms in the city, with the boardwalk running past the door.
Setting & Style
Three spaces cover the range: a 26-person private dining room, an air-conditioned indoor area for 45, and a large undercover outdoor space for 250 with ocean and mountain views. Wedding receptions run off a published events planner with prices held to 31 March 2027 — three-course lunch menus from $45 per person, dinner menus climbing through $69, $83 and $89 to $105 per person, children at $22.50, and beverage packages of two, three or four hours at $61, $66 and $78 per person. Arrival cocktails, welcome drinks, linen upgrades and cakeage are all itemised, minimum numbers are twenty adults, and groups over fifty move to alternate-drop service.
