The Rocks Yeppoon

From: From $99 p/head

About

Overview & Vibe

The Rocks sits at Lagoon Place on the Yeppoon foreshore, overlooking the town lagoon and out across Keppel Bay to the islands. It is a bar and restaurant first, hired out whole or in part for weddings, and its interior is the draw as much as the view — leather and velvet, Moroccan tiles, gold, and a sculptural rod ceiling that runs the length of the room.

Setting & Style

Open-plan restaurant and bar with a large deck opening to the water. The Restaurant takes seated dining, the Lounge is the casual end with couches, and the two can be combined as whole-venue hire. Everything faces the lagoon and the bay.

Ideal For

Couples wanting a reception with a genuine view and a serious kitchen, at the intimate end of the scale — this is a hundred-guest venue at most.

The Need-to-Knows

Venue hire is published: Lounge $3,000, Restaurant $8,000, Whole Venue $10,000 — with the venue’s own caveat that “these prices are variable and are subject to event scope and numbers.”
Food is $99 per person for two courses, $110 for three. The chef will design a personalised menu, including the wedding cake.
Cocktail capacity is given once, as 100. Confirm the seated number before planning tables.
This is a reception venue, not a ceremony one — the page describes holding “your wedding reception” and names no ceremony site. The lagoon foreshore is public land immediately outside.
A nice touch, and the venue’s own: “We engrave all our bride and grooms’ names along with their wedding date onto our ceiling decorations.”
A courtesy bus runs pick-ups and drop-offs on request, and lagoon parking is free before 8:30am and after 5pm, $2/hour otherwise.

Standout Feature

A rod-sculpture ceiling over the bay — with your names engraved into it afterwards.

The cocktail figure of 100 appears once and is not contradicted. Confirm the seated number before planning tables.
This is a reception venue rather than a ceremony one — it describes hosting your wedding reception and names no ceremony location. It sits on the Yeppoon Lagoon foreshore, which is public land.
An unusual inclusion, in the venue's own words: 'We engrave all our bride and grooms' names along with their wedding date onto our ceiling decorations, ensuring your celebration becomes an unforgettable part of The Rocks' history.'
