To keep our playgroup fees low we hire out the cottage outside of playgroup times. These hires include regular weekly groups, bands, Bible groups and also singular hires for birthday parties, meetings etc.

These hires have access to the following:

• Toyroom with toys and large chalk board
• Indoor climbing castle
• Indoor cubby-house
• Craft area with tables and chairs
• Parent lounge area
• Adult and children bathrooms
• Kitchen with microwave, oven, fridge, tea cups and cutlery
• Outdoor area with playgym, seating and sandpit
• Ample free parking

Theiss Cottage is situated a reasonable distance from other dwellings and is therefore perfect for noisy children's parties or band practice. For more information about booking the cottage for your next event, visit the calendar section of the website to check availability and then complete the venue hire form to make a booking. The hiring officer will contact you to confirm your booking and to organise for you to collect the keys.

All applications to hire the cottage must be made by persons over the age of 30, and proof of age will be required. If persons under the age of 30 years wish to hire the Cottage they must be accompanied by a person over the age of 30 who shall then be responsible for the Cottage for the entire time of the function. We ask a $40 cash or cheque key deposit for daytime hire (finished by 5pm) and a $200 cash or cheque key deposit for night time hire (5pm to midnight). Your key deposit is refunded once you return the key and the cottage is deemed to be left in the condition you found it.
