HOTA Gold Coast - Lakeside Terrace — Surfers Paradise, QLD. The Lakeside Terrace is HOTA Gold Coast's open-air lakeside breakout area adjoining the Lakeside performance and function room. Venue materials distinguish the terrace's approximately 91-square-metre footprint and 100-person cocktail capacity from the much larger indoor full-room and half-room capacities. With views over the lake and toward the Surfers Paradise skyline, it can work well for pre-function receptions, networking and outdoor mingling alongside an indoor event. Its catering, weather-protection and standalone hire options require discussion with the HOTA events team; indoor staging and technical facilities should not be claimed for the terrace itself. Contact the venue operator for current availability, current hire rates and confirmation of event-specific inclusions before booking.
