About

Overview & Vibe

THE DUNES is a curved timber-clad building set above Ocean Grove’s surf beach — contemporary coastal architecture with floor-to-ceiling glass and a wraparound terrace facing straight out at the waves.

Setting & Style

The ceremony site sits atop the sand dunes a hundred metres from the building, a grassy clearing among native flora with the beach panorama behind the aisle and a covered indoor alternative if the weather turns. Receptions run inside for 112 seated or 150 canapé-style, each with a dedicated dance floor, natural materials and windows flooding the room with light; the wraparound outdoor area handles pre-drinks and canapés under festoon lights, and larger weddings can spill into the Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club for up to 300. A dedicated wedding coordinator, restaurant-quality food and flexible styling come with it, and everything — ceremony, photographs, reception — happens in the one place.

Ideal For

Couples who want the surf coast itself as the venue — dunes for the vows, glass walls for the party.

The Need-to-Knows

Groups from 40 through to 200 for cocktails; up to 112 seated or 150 canapé in the main venue.
Ceremony site on the dunes 100 metres from the building, with a covered indoor wet-weather alternative.
Larger weddings can extend into the Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club for up to 300 guests.
30 Surf Beach Road, Ocean Grove — large public car park adjacent with an accessible drop-off.

Standout Feature

A ceremony clearing on top of the dunes — native scrub, open ocean, and the reception a hundred metres away.
