Private Party Venue
A sealed room with its own slot machines, gaming tables, bar and playlist — for your circle of up to sixty, with dealers included and discretion guaranteed. Queenstown's worst-kept secret. From $1,800 a night.
Your list, your night, our dealers
Behind an unmarked oak door on the venue's west side sits a room most of Queenstown has heard about and few have seen: forty slot machines, three live tables, a bar built for conversation, and acoustics that keep the party in and the town out.
You set the stakes, the playlist and the guest list. We set the tables, staff the bar with the Lakeview crew, and keep the dealers rotating all night. Birthdays, buyouts, reunions and the occasional very quiet divorce party — all equally at home here.
What the oak door includes
Full gaming set
Forty machines and three live tables — blackjack, roulette and Hold'em — with stakes configured to your party by the gaming manager.
Staffed private bar
The Lakeview crew behind your own bar, on a tab you set: from local pinot to a champagne tower, arranged in advance.
Your soundtrack
House system with a playlist handover — or a live DJ booth on request. The room keeps its own acoustics; the neighbours keep theirs.
Dedicated floor staff
Dealers, bar staff and a floor manager assigned to your night alone, briefed on your guest list and your inside jokes.
Late kitchen line
A standing late menu — from oysters to the house burger — plus a cake service that has survived four hundred birthdays.
Sealed guest list
One door, one list, no photography on the floor unless you ask. What happens behind the oak door stays there.

The two questions every host asks first. The rest — message the events team, who reply within two hours and never discuss your guest list.
