Location
Know Before You Go
- Hours: The front gate stays open until 11.45pm; the exit gate is open until 1am. The outside viewing area is reserved for bookings from 11pm.
- Parking: When the car park is full, customers are asked to park in Ridge Road and walk up the entry road or exit road. Lines are long; allow plenty of time and arrive early.
- Pets: Pets can't come inside to dine. Assistance animals are allowed if you show their animal health certificate (AHC).
Tips & Advice
- Arrive early to get a spot on the lawn, because once the car park fills you'll be parking in Ridge Road and walking up in long lines.
- Leave the gas BBQ, candles and sparklers at home, because SkyHigh sits in a national park and open flames aren't allowed.
- Don't bring alcohol, which isn't allowed. Drinks and snacks are sold at the licensed bistro, though without a booking you'll only get outside seating.
- Give any dietary requirements when you book a dinner, because requests can't be taken on the night and the kitchen can't cater for serious allergies.
- Book ahead and expect to pay in full four weeks out, because bookings are essential and event payments aren't refunded if you cancel.
Special Events & Promotions
- The Gala Cocktail Dinner, Drinks & Entertainment in the upper floor function room is booked separately and is for guests 18 and over.
- The lower floor Bistro Dinner (no entertainment) is a separate booking and includes a children's menu.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I come up without a booking?
Yes. The outside area is open to everyone for picnics and the views, with music on the front lawn and a DJ counting down the New Year. Inside areas are for bookings only, so without a booking you'll sit outside.
Can I bring my own drinks or a BBQ?
No. You can't bring alcohol, but the licensed bistro sells drinks and snacks. SkyHigh is in a national park, so open flames aren't allowed, including gas BBQs, candles and sparklers.
What's the difference between the upper and lower floor bookings?
The upper floor Gala is a cocktail-style night with canapés, drinks and entertainment. Seating is limited and it's designed for guests to move around. The lower floor bistro is a sit-down dinner without entertainment, and diners get a reserved outside area to see in the New Year.
Is New Year's Eve suitable for kids?
The lower floor bistro dinner has a children's menu. The upper floor Gala isn't suitable for guests under 18.
Can they cater for dietary needs?
Give any dietary requirements when you book, because requests can't be taken on the day. The kitchen can't cater for serious allergies or anaphylaxis. The duck, fish and chicken are certified halal.
