Centre 4 Life

Lovely indoor outdoor venue for children's parties. In the week leading up to the party, we were very concerned about the event with the weather forecast at 37deg as our plan was to have kids playing outdoors mostly. However the venue staff were very helpful in allowing us to setup slightly earlier (to allow for furniture arrangement that would best suit the whole crowd being indoors) and turned the cooling on a couple of hours prior to our hire start time. This was effective and the room was a comfortable temperature for the duration of our event (despite temp reaching 38deg outside!)

We hired the centre 4 life venue for our little boys first birthday during Winter. The venue was beautiful, modern and had every thing you need. It was equiped with changing facilities for babies, a kitchen, a huge open space, a beautiful garden space with a trampoline, cubby house and basketball court.All of the guests at the party had a great time and even suggested they might book the venue in future. The highlight was the trampoline where the children spent most of their day :)I’d definitely recommend to anyone wanting a more secure relaxed venue for a party.

The venue space is a great size and diversity to do with what you want! Our guests enjoyed their time there. It’s truly a beautiful space with a huge studio (larger than it looks in photos) - a blank canvas to do what you want and a beautiful backyard style outdoor space with some activities for varied age children!However it’s extremely overpriced and not at all accomodating to events with large set ups that need more time to pack up and set up. There was no flexibility in even dropping one item the evening prior either when the cleaners were there or after the cleaners had been even though it’s self check in. You could get a hall or whole party with many things provided for the price it costs to hire for a few hours.I was hoping to hold future functions here and recommend it to others. However it has not been very easy to deal with. For the owner telling me they wanted to open it up to the community after a recommendation for holding their own child’s parties there… it’s priced more like a business! $350 for 5 hours… (just for the space) self check in so doesn’t need a staff… $75 per additional hours. And set up and pack up is included in your time.And the whole reason we chose the space over others mainly was to do a detailed set up in the studio which didn’t fit into the maximum 5 hour option.I have discussed with the owner and given feedback on some small improvements and to make it a bit more flexible for large events and make it clear that longer hours are available. However it’s extremely expensive for just the hire of the space (and cleaner).Oh and if you hire the space and the furniture… FYI the tables provided apart from one are huge wooden and heavy… so we couldn’t move it forward to get a photo behind the cake :( and the stools are adult height not child as for some reason I had in my head!
