“Nightcap At Northern Grounds benefits from its position on the Maroochy River; the waterfront views and proximity to Fisherman's Road boat ramp add considerable appeal for those looking to get out on the water. The bistro and sports bar provide ample on-site dining and entertainment, and the family-friendly focus extends to dedicated play areas, making this a solid choice for those travelling with children. I think the corporate facilities make it a practical base for events, too.”
