New Year’s Eve
There’s no better place to be than at SkyHigh Mount Dandenong to see the Old Year out and welcome the New Year in!
The outside area is open to the general public for picnics and views. The front gate stays open until 11.45pm and the exit gate is open until 1am. Once the car park is full we ask customers to park in Ridge Road and walk up our entry road or exit road, lines are long so please allow plenty of time and arrive early.
No alcohol is permitted to be brought onto our premises but we do have a fully licensed bistro open until 11.45pm to purchase drinks and snacks but there is only outside seating available. We are located in a national park so please do not bring open flames – Gas BBQ’s, candles, sparklers etc. The inside areas are reserved for bookings only so if you don’t have a booking then there is only outside seating available. We run a reduced cafe menu for NYE so please ensure you check the menu before you plan your trip.
We have music playing over the front lawn and the DJ will count down the New Year. Arrive early to secure your spot.
New Year’s Eve is also an all night food extravaganza at SkyHigh with entertainment and drinks and great options in both the lower floor bistro and upper floor function room. Please look at the details below to see New Year in with great entertainment and great food.
