Hi Laura, You made the organisation of my lunch hassle free. Your communication skills are excellent - prompt replying, great follow up, and all in an easy conversational tone. The day went off without a hitch. Please send my thanks to Ruby who successfully wrangled 24 women with drinks and lunch. It was a great day that I will remember fondly. Kind regards, Helen

Hi Kirsty, Thank you for your note. I had a wonderful birthday celebration yesterday…the room was the perfect size, the service was great and the food was delicious. Thank you for all your help in arranging our function and please pass on our thanks to everyone else involved on the day. We would particularly like to thank Hugh for looking after us so well… he was outstanding. We’ll happily recommend The Botanical as a function venue to our friends and will quite possibly be return clients at a future date! With thanks, Chris and Ray

Hi Kirsty, Thank you so much for assisting us with organising my husband’s 50th celebration. Right from the start we knew we were in good hands, from responding to our initial enquiry, general communication and the information provided to answering our questions along the way. The night was brilliant and we all had a fabulous time. We didn’t leave til 1am!!! Nina was our host for the night and was excellent in helping to set up the space to ensure it was reserved for our guests. The service and food was excellent throughout the night with great attention to detail. It was clear to us that all staff genuinely made an effort to make the night a success and it certainly was. Many of our guests asked us throughout the night ‘how did you find this place?- it’s great’ We are so appreciative of everything you have all done that made the night so special and will highly recommend Botanical Hotel to friends looking for a fabulous venue. Thanks again, Yvette and David Jaksa.
