function venues Alice Springs

WELCOME TO ALICE SPRINGS!

We have areas to suit all needs and to those who would like a function with a difference

Alice Springs, located in the centre of Australia, is an iconic outback town, rich in history and culture. There is “no town like Alice.” Holding an event at Heavitree Gap Outback Lodge gives your guests the opportunity to explore the region as it offers interesting and varied tourist attractions including: the Desert Park, the Royal Flying Doctors, School of the Air, Stanley Chasm and Simpsons Gap. Alice Springs is well-serviced by direct flights from all mainland capital cities.

FUNCTION VENUES Located at the foot of the spectacular MacDonnell Ranges in Alice Springs, guests at the lodge get to experience the kind of magnificent and distinctive natural landscape that makes Australia famous all over the world. Our function venues maximise this matchless setting and reflect the location’s special character in a way that will enrich your stay and enhance your special occasion or event.

RED CENTRE DREAMING With seating for up to 300, a stage and conference facilities and services, this venue is ideal for large gatherings and events such as weddings, birthday parties and meetings. However, the outstanding feature of this venue is its awe-inspiring backdrop. The ruggedly majestic MacDonnell Ranges makes this a truly one-of-a-kind setting that will leave a lasting impression on you and your guests. Red Centre Dreaming is literally a stone’s throw from the base of the range where the rock faces take on different hues throughout the day, showcasing an ever changing ancient beauty that draws visitors from all over the world. We are happy to tailor the space to your particular needs and our function coordinator would be please to make an appointment to discuss and plan your special function.

OLDE ALICE Designed to reflect the rustic character of Old Alice Town in days gone by, this is a venue with atmosphere and charm made special by the recreation of old streetscapes based on historic photographs. An ideal venue for dinner functions and wedding receptions, guests can step outside to take in the imposing and spectacular MacDonnell Ranges - what a stunning backdrop for your special event photographs.

AJ’S TAVERN There isn’t another beer garden in Australia quite like AJ’s - located as it is among a stand of substantial old eucalyptus trees at the foot of the breathtaking MacDonnell Ranges. The tavern offers relaxed and casual dining and the beer garden is an ideal spot for pre-drinks while taking time out during a conference or to enjoy a peaceful morning tea accompanied by native birds in the tree tops and a landscape of unspoiled grandeur.
