Solve a murder at the Robertson Hotel
Picture this: it’s a foggy, cold night deep in the mysterious Southern Highlands, you are surrounded by manicured lawns, beyond which lie a deep, dark valley. You and your friends are dressed in your best furs, sipping on a cocktail in the hotel bar, warmed by a roaring fire…and then you hear someone’s been murdered.
Sounds like something straight out of an Agatha Christie novel, no? Well luckily for all those family and friends who love nothing more than a games night when together, The Robertson Hotel allows you to play host to your very own detective story in what is one of the most under-rated activities in the Southern Highlands.
Why we love it
Everything about a Murder Mystery night at The Robertson is simply perfect. The sheer ambience of the old, 1920’s manor house will set the scene perfectly with its Gatsby-style bar, red carpet, oversized wooden fireplaces and higher-than-high ceilings, you’ll feel completely immersed in the theatre of a great games night.
The Murder Mystery nights are accompanied by a 3 course meal in their restaurant - which is an experience all unto itself - and they are often themed, meaning you and your friends can dress up for just a really fun night with great food and suspense which will sure to have you all laughing. There is something so joyfully absurd and yet serious about a Murder Mystery party, and if you and your crew are headed to the Southern Highlands and are wanting to do something a little different, we suggest jumping on to the Robertson’s website to see what Murder Mystery events they have coming up.
The details
The Robertson Hotel will frequently host a Murder Mystery party, often with a unique theme, which you can book through their website. The ticket price varies slightly depending on the time of year and how many courses are included, however you can expect to pay anywhere between $100 - $200 per person. There is also a set time for the start of the evening, so don’t be late!
If you fancy yourself a great games night host and would rather run your own Murder Mystery with just your group of friends or family, The Robertson can accomodate this as well. Simply enquire on their website about hosting your own private event and their team will help get everything organised.
