The Duncan pavilion is a stunning piece of architecture and the view across the ocean is amazing. We booked it for a private dinner and watched the sun set down over the sea, This is an awesome piece of Castlecliff history and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to have a work function, kids birthday party, or just a romantic dinner overlooking the sea.

This is a fantastic venue and we had a great time, even though the weather wasn't the best. The view is good rain or shine. The white dinnerware and plates were excellent and the white chairs looked lovely around our set tables. We brought our own round tables, that you can see in the photo, but plenty of rectangle tresles are avail at the venue. Bring extention cords if you want flexibility for plugging electrics in. The fridge has no freezer so bring chilly bins for any ice cream etc you might be planning to use. Would definitely book again. Thanks!

The space is beautiful. Great space to hold functions. Next time will hire for a day and a half to not rush clean up but was really impressed. Booking Process was a bit here and there. Take into acct that bond is sometimes requested but not till after paying the hireage fee. I was asked a week after paying the hireage fee.
