From ball pit and foam playset for the little ones, to giant Jenga and inflatable mini golf for older kids (and kids at heart), there's something for everyone! Your booking also comes with a complementary 3-month Toy Library membership (if you're not already a member, that is)!

Hire prices vary depending on what you choose, but range from $15-$30. Our friendly team can send you a copy of the brochure so you can choose what suits you.
If you've got a small group (of 20 people or less) you might also like to hold your party in our downstairs room which even has a small garden.
Please contact us if you'd like further information.
Community Pantry & Wardrobe
Weekdays 10:00am-2:00pm
The Community Pantry and Community Wardrobe operate on a take-what-you-need model. We rely on donations to keep them stocked, so please join us in supporting our community with dignity and compassion.
Community Pantry
Our ​community pantry is stocked with essential items to support our community members in need, and everything is free to take. We welcome donations to keep our pantry shelves full, but we kindly ask that donated items meet certain standards. Pantry items must be non-perishable and in-date to ensure freshness and safety (unfortunately we cannot accept fresh items, frozen items or anything opened or past best-before or use-by date). Highly desired items include weetbix, long life milk, rice, pasta, pasta sauce, tinned tuna, canned vegetables, soup, biscuits, tea, coffee and salt.
​
Community Wardrobe
Our wardrobe offers a diverse selection of clothing items for individuals and families in need, and everything is available free of charge. We rely on the generosity of our community to keep our wardrobe stocked, so donations are always welcome. However, we kindly request that donated items be of good quality, and are clean and unstained to meet the needs and dignity of those who rely on our services.
