The Space: Warm, Flexible, and Designed to Connect
There are conference spaces, and then there are creative conference spaces – like Saltbox.
Our connoisseurs of microscopic details have had their moment. Every element, from the acoustically-friendly cork flooring, to the world-class audio-visual capabilities, and a sculpted ceiling, has been crafted with flair and function in mind.
Now, let’s lift the (stylish sheer) curtains on what makes our space truly shine.
Saltbox’s floor-to-ceiling windows flood the venue with natural light, making every conference feel more invigorating than fatiguing. Gone are the windowless hotel rooms where time stands still and guests nod off during the keynote. Instead, ample sunlight creates a warm, connected flow through flexible spaces perfect for everything from strategy days to leadership retreats and brand immersions.
Our pillarless main room sets the stage, while adjoining suites with operable walls and a spacious outdoor terrace offer intimacy for smaller groups, a sense of connection, and ensure a seamless flow from registrations, to breakout sessions, tea breaks, and alfresco cocktail finales.
Comfortable, collaborative, effortlessly connected – and not a micro-nap to be seen.

The Food: A Signature Saltbox / Cook & Waiter Touch
Saltbox is the flagship venue of renowned caterer Cook & Waiter – the superstars of corporate event catering in Sydney – so every event here comes with a bit of that wow-factor magic. But don’t be fooled; our food isn’t just a pretty face. Behind every menu and every bite, there’s real substance and plenty of sustenance to keep the ideas flowing. Whether it’s a corporate breakfast, networking event, or all-day conference, Cook & Waiter ensures the food is a nutritional hit that fuels ambitious thinking and bold connections – because those moments matter. Connection and collaboration start with fantastic food, and Cook & Waiter dishes up true food for thought. From breakfast spreads to working lunches and afternoon tea, expect everything we bring to the table to be seasonal, fresh, and absolutely delicious.
Did we mention our house-made bread, pastries and desserts? We’re talking focaccia and flammkuchen (the kind of flatbread that dreams are made of), plus petit fours like smoked truffles and milk chocolate fudge – these house-baked treats are practically conversation starters, helping our guests linger, recharge, and bond over bites. Because really, what’s a conference without a bit of schmooze? And what’s the secret sauce for schmoozing? It’s always the food.

Our team has every detail down – seating, styling, swag bags – leaving you to focus on the good stuff: people, purpose, and possibly second helpings of those irresistible pastries!

The Experience: Where Work Meets Atmosphere
Sometimes, we need to break with routine and ditch the usual office environment to let creativity off the leash. If you’re shopping for a team offsite venue, Saltbox’s unique atmosphere is where brainstorming lights up and new ideas take flight. What we offer is not a generic team event space – it’s a place designed for inspiration, comfort, and striking connections.
With plush textures, acoustics-friendly cork flooring and a pillarless main space, Saltbox is an AV dream (major thanks to in-house partner Avionic Event Production). The bright natural light and interconnected rooms power creative energy and genuine connection, all softened by warm hospitality – not something you’ll find in your average conference spot.
So, if you’re on the hunt for team event ideas, Saltbox is where creativity and big ideas aren’t just possible – they’re positively inevitable.
