Yes, you are welcome to bring a cake to our venue but please
note there is a $3 cakeage fee per person.

 We will store the cake for you and provide you with the
necessary plates, cutlery and a cake knife for you to cut and serve the cake
yourself at the table.

If you provide candles with the cake, we are happy to bring the cake out lit for you, however we do not provide candles for you.

Alternatively, if you would like to bring a candle, we can
always put this in one of our desserts for you and bring it out to the table.

We accept bookings up to 16 people total for à la carte on our deck. For bookings of 17 people or more please contact us via our email - info@helenshill.com.au with your enquiry

The sitting times for all our reservations are for 2 hours.

As with most restaurants, we do have strict sitting times
for all reservations and we advise that you arrive promptly to get the most out
of your time with us.

 After your 2 hours at the table, you are most welcome to continue to enjoy the venue sitting around the firepit or laying on the lawn
with drinks served from the lawn bar outside. There are many destinations in
one place.

You think you have your guest numbers sorted and then another person says they can come. We are always happy to assist if you need to add people to your reservation. However, we do tend to book out in advance, with tables and dining spaces reaching their maximum capacity. Therefore we cannot guarantee we will be able to increase your reservation if you need to. Please keep this in mind. If you do need to increase your guest numbers we recommend getting in contact with us more than a week out from your booking to avoid disappointment (this still is no guarantee though).

We have 2 venues located at the same address. Your booking is at the Helen's Hill Cellar Door and Deck Bistro, so follow the signs to get to us once you are here. Once you enter the venue and turn right to go up the Hill, turn left about half way up.

There is parking in front of the venue and access via the ramp of the outdoor stairs via the outdoor area.

Do not go to Vines of the Yarra Valley, the black building at the top of the Hill. They are a reception and large function only venue.

Our venue is wheelchair accessible with an access ramp to enter and disabled toilets on the upstairs level.

If you are joining us for a birthday celebration or special occasion you are more than welcome to bring in a few small decorations for your table. We allow the following:

• Small jars of flowers
• Small center pieces
• A couple of balloons

Please note, we are a family friendly venue and do not allow any adult decorations of any kind. Under no circumstances are confetti or confetti filled balloons to be brought onto our Estate.

Our Menu is a sharing style menu with all food being placed down the center of the table, so we do ask that decorations are kept to a minimum to allow for this. All reservations are in a communal dining space so we also ask you are mindful of the diners around you.

We are a dog friendly venue proudly providing water bowls,
dog bags, pats and cuddles.

When visiting us to drink or dine, we ask that you keep your
pouches on a leads and supervised.

 We kindly ask that as a curtesy to the other diners, if your
dog is barking, please take them outside.
