Hot Air Balloon Dining Experience
This summer, The Wharf Hotel is elevating dining to new heights, without leaving the ground. Wharf on Cloud 9 introduces Australia’s first-ever hot air balloon dining pods, offering a unique, themed outdoor dining experience overlooking the Yarra River.
Guests can enjoy tasty à la carte dishes and refreshing drinks from The Wharf Hotel’s menu. Optional grazing boards are available, including charcuterie and vegetarian selections.
Sundays offer a family-focused afternoon experience with complimentary children’s entertainment (12pm–3pm) including garden games and colouring activities. Plus all little ones get a party bag.
Pod capacity is up to six people, afternoon sessions are for 90 minutes, and evening sessions are two-hours. Full details and T&Cs available online.
