Three fantastic entertainment spaces

Across our racetrack we’ve three key spaces to entertain you. Each with it’s own unique atmosphere and view of the action. All you need to do is ask yourself the question – where would you like to be entertained?

If you enjoy the comfort of being indoors, any of our three Temlee Dining Room spaces will suit. If you’re seeking a mix of chic indoor and outdoor entertaining, then head for The Deck. For the full trackside experience, complemented with the comfort of a private undercover area and bar, then book a corporate marquee on The Terrace and cheer the chasers as they fly by.

The Temlee Dining Rooms

Our magnificent level one Temlee Dining Room offers three fabulous entertaining spaces - Main, East & West. All are extremely versatile and perfectly suited to our Seated Dining Packages, with East and West also suited to cocktail style events.

All three spaces have floor to ceiling windows, capitalising on their elevated locations, and sweeping views of the track and the Melbourne city skyline. They are the perfect vantage point to take in the nights racing and be superbly entertained and hosted in stylish surrounds.

Comprising of an elegant indoor space, with a private bar, multiple audio-visual screens and bi-fold doors that open out onto an wide timber boarded deck area, it’s the space everyone wants to be in when they arrive at ‘The Meadows’!

It’s the perfect space for our Stand-up Cocktail Packages. Located in front of the 525m start boxes, it offers an electric atmosphere and fantastic vantage point as the chasers zip by it two times in every race.

The Terrace

Adjacent to the racetrack finishing line and the first turn, The Terrace is where all the fast paced action takes place. This large raised open outdoor space is covered in artificial lawn, making it perfect for all-weather celebrations. Offering it’s own private bar and designated wait staff, it makes for sensational entertaining.
