Customer Testimonials
I had my 40th Birthday at the Dava on the upstairs deck and function room. Everything was perfect, from my first email asking a million questions to the last. The functions manager went above and beyond to make sure ALL my answers and requests were fulfilled. On the night, bar staff made awesome drinks and the food platters were freshly made all with great flavours and more than plenty for everyone. Thank you to everyone at the Dava who helped make my night one of the best birthdays I’ve ever had. Highly recommend the venue. Christine Simmonds, Mount Martha
I had my 21st birthday party at the Dava's upstairs deck and function room. I had a fantastic night that I will always look back on with amazing memories. Narelle, the events manager, was wonderful and organised and so knowledgeable about all things from food to bar tab to budgets and decorations. The bar staff were friendly and helpful on the night, and the security were fantastic at ensuring everything ran smoothly. The room and deck itself is very spacious with plenty of room for a dance-floor and for tables and chairs. The staff were very helpful at supplying equipment for decorations and photo-slideshows. The food was fantastic, filling and generous, and catered for many dietary requirements. It was above and beyond my expectations and everyone I spoke to was very impressed with the platters. I would highly recommend having a birthday party at the Dava, they take great care of their guests and exceeded all my expectations. It was amazing to be able to relax and enjoy my party with my family and friends, without having to worry or stress about anything!

We had our engagement party here on the weekend and was absolutely perfect! Beautiful view from the rooftop and function area. Lovely, unique ceiling where the light shines through. Great size, plenty of tables, seats, tv to put photo slideshow, can play your music through spotify, dancefloor, light's and microphone.
Waiters on the night were so friendly, helpful and lovely to us and everyone. Security did a great job and was also nice to everyone and us. Narelle was great to deal with, nothing was any hassle for any of the staff. Great good options and all of our guests commented on how nice the venue was. Our engagement was everything we hoped for, was a magical night. Thankyou to the Dava! Haylee Margaret, Mornington.
