I booked Redgum cafe for my son’s first birthday party. It’s a great function space with ample room for up to 100 people. The outdoor playground is an excellent space to let the older kids play and there is a soft play area for the younger kids inside the cafe.

Sam, the facility events manager was an absolute delight to deal with. She was very accommodating, efficient and helpful! Would book again for future functions and would highly recommend.

I was looking for a small space that was also next to a cafe / playspace to host my daughter's birthday and Sam was excellent in coming up with suggestions to make this possible for the busiest month of the year: December. The booking fee and bond were very reasonable, paperwork and key access / drop off were super easy to organise and where possible, Sam was so accommodating of our needs to make the party a huge success for us all. A great space to gather together.

Had my daughter’s 1st birthday at the Redgum Cafe within the church complex. It is a great place to have a kids birthday. There is a soft play area inside for the younger kids and a fully enclosed outdoor space with a small sand pit, slide and cubby house etc for the older ones.

There is also ample underground parking for guests. Sam, the function’s coordinator, was very efficient and helpful which made organizing the event so much easier.

We hired the Auditorium for my Dad's one year memorial service. The venue and facilities were excellent and our attendees were very impressed with the room. Sam Keller was extremely professional, efficient and understanding throughout the process. Her efforts are highly commendable and I am very grateful for her assistance which made our day special. Thank You Sam.

The venue is good for community event & special appreciations to the facility coordinator Sam, who is very responsible, professional & helpful. She is the one who is leading the Church to be more user friendly and more fully utilised. The venue is beautiful and lighting is fantastic for professional staging.

Perfect venue for our little one’s first birthday party! The venue at Redgum cafe is spacious, clean, new and has plenty of light coming in which makes it a warm and welcoming space! Not mentioning Sam the building manager from Manningham Uniting Church who is so helpful, flexible and accomodating in meeting our needs for the planning of the party , despite some timing changes - she was able to provide the support we need. She is so kind to also be there on that day to provide any other support. We definitely had a positive and amazing experience at this venue including the facilities, easy access and the outdoor space which enable us to cater for outdoor activities and older kids utilising the outdoor play area. Will definitely recommend to others !

Redgum cafe was the perfect venue for our little ones 1st birthday party. The venue had great facilities and was very spacious and clean.
We absolutely loved the two different play areas as it provided both the little babies and younger kids their own seperate spaces to have lots of fun!
Sam the facility manager was just amazing to work with. She was super helpful, patient and just a lovely person in general. When we had to postpone our party, Sam was so accomodating with our last minute changes and helped put us at ease.
Alongside our amazing caterer, (little mouse tea house), Sam took the stress out of the whole process and we couldn’t have asked for a better party for our little man.
We received so many compliments from our family and friends and we can’t thank Redgum cafe and Sam enough!
