A private party venue in Carlton North describing itself as a different kind of swingers party — an intimate gathering for couples and single women, pitched at bohemians and creative hedonists rather than the club crowd.
What it is
House of Woland runs private parties from a venue in Carlton North, and its positioning is unusually specific. Where most operators describe atmosphere in general terms, Woland states a character: intimate, creative, and explicitly not a nightclub proposition.
Its own description is “a different kind of swingers party for couples and single women — an intimate gathering of bohemians and creative hedonists in an incomparable setting.” That’s a narrower pitch than any other Melbourne operator makes, and if it appeals to you it will appeal strongly.
It’s also the only operator we’ve found in Melbourne’s inner north. Everything else in the scene clusters south, south-east or in the outer south — so for anyone in Carlton, Fitzroy, Brunswick or Northcote, this is likely the closest venue by a considerable distance.
Who it’s for
Their stated audience is couples and single women. We have found no statement that single men are admitted, so assume not unless they tell you otherwise.
How it works
The venue publishes a calendar and takes bookings through its own site. Beyond that we’re limited in what we can tell you: their site is built in a way that we could not reliably read, so rather than guess at event formats, pricing or entry conditions, we’re pointing you at the source.
What we can say with confidence is the location area, the stated audience, and the character they describe. Everything else — dates, prices, dress code, entry process — check with them directly.
Who it suits
People in the inner north, for whom every other Melbourne venue is a long trip.
People who want small and characterful rather than a club night. The pitch is intimacy and atmosphere, not scale.
Couples and single women, per their stated audience.
Book
Their calendar, bookings and full conditions are on their own site, which is the authoritative source. We don’t sell tickets and we’re not affiliated with them.
This is a shorter guide than our others, deliberately. We publish what we can verify from an operator’s own site, and in this case that’s the location, the stated audience and their own description of the party’s character — so that’s what you get, rather than filler. If you’re from House of Woland and would like the page to carry more detail, send it to us and we’ll verify and expand it. See also: all Melbourne venues.
