Function Venue Tauranga
We are a venue that can cater for the grand and magnificent to the small and intimate. Matches, Hatches and Dispatches, 21st celebrations, corporate or educational events can all be accommodated. It is the ultimate blank canvas of the beauty of the Kaimai Ranges as your backdrop and the stunning rural and ocean views of the Bay of Plenty and Tauranga harbour open out in front of you. We are an arboretum, so there are plenty of photo opportunities here.
We have 40 acres including hill country and native QEII bush as the perfect play ground for your event. We have a large platform suitable for a 300 person marquee with ample room to spare surrounding it for activities. A volleyball net is easily erected. There is a smaller platform for a 50 guest marquee adjacent to the lodge.
Our American style barn, standing on a concrete platform, is ideal for a moderate sized events. It sits next to the home orchard providing some shade and cool grass under foot. It is 90 square meter double height space with rustic ambience. There is over-spill outside for guests to mingle or to extend your dining area. For smaller gatherings, the lodge and its marquee are available.
