From milestone birthdays and anniversaries to hens parties, product launches and work bashes, if you’re looking for a truly epic spot to host your next shindig—one that people will yarn about for years to come—we’ve found it. Introducing RAFI’s Surf Suites.
A mecca of good vibes, this beautiful sun-soaked spot is nestled within Sydney’s Olympic Park—a primo location for both Sydney locals and visitors you’re looking to impress.
But it gets even better. As the name suggests, the RAFI Surf Suites are perched on the edge of URBNSURF, so you can throw back cocktails while enjoying stunning vistas of the rolling waves, fringed by the bush as a backdrop. Trust us when we say there’s nowhere else in the world quite like this.
That Indoor-Outdoor Flow
The interior of the venue is equally as beautiful. The large, open space is awash with natural light and oozes Euro summer vibes. Think blonde timber furnishings and splashes of terracotta and pistachio.
Two sets of hidden folding doors allow the space to be divided into three private suites, each hosting up to 30 people for a sit-down event. Post-celebration recovery brunch anyone? The team is famous for their drool-worthy grazing stations laden with flaky pastries, fresh fruit, coconut yoghurt and the best in granola.
Maybe you’re ready to launch a product you’ve been working away on, or are in charge of organising your work’s next festive bash? The suites can be transformed into the cocktail venue of your dreams, with space for up to 170 standing humans. Wow your guests with the panoramic views while they snack on custom canapes and tasty tipples.
And the helpful RAFI crew will ensure you take your event to the next level, equipping the suites with an integrated AV, projector and epic sound system so the tunes can flow.
But First, Food
If a milestone birthday is coming up, look no further, with room for up to 110 people seated, you can treat your loved ones to a feast they won’t soon forget. Foodies will be in gastronomic heaven thanks to executive head chef Matias Cilloniz who has merged his Peruvian heritage with fresh local produce to curate a vibrant menu packed with flavour bombs.
We’re talking delights like grilled Abrolhos Island scallops with sweet corn, umami butter and lime backed up by crispy eggplant with honey and spices, and lobster with cultured beurre blanc. Oh, and there’s also a melt-in-your-mouth braised lamb shoulder with pistachios and grain-fed flat iron with chimichurri. And don’t sleep on the dessert, the salted caramel, hazelnut and chocolate tart is a must order for sweet tooths.
But it’s not just the Surf Suites that you’ll dig at RAFI, there’s also a sprawling dining room (also with 11/10 views) that can seat up 80 people, as well as a beautiful outdoor terrace complete with festoon lighting, sunscreens and heaters so no matter the season, it’s the perfect spot for kick ons post your event.
