If you’re looking for a private party venue with enough privacy to really let your hair down, come and see us at our 10-acre venue on the beautiful Kapiti Coast.

Here, you can escape to another world and celebrate the end the year surrounded by open grassy spaces, tall Rimu trees, bright, blooming hydrangeas and aromatic roses.

Located just an hour from Palmerston North and Wellington, our secluded venue is available for evening and day-to-night parties.

Eat, drink and be merry

We work closely with four wonderful caterers with varying styles, menu’s and budget - something to suit everyone. Canapes, fork and bowl, sharing platters or seated meals - they can do it all.

These caterers provide experienced waiters and bar staff, along with a function Manager to run the event. Check out their mouthwatering tucker!

We are a BYO alcohol venue, but our catering partners can provide beverages if you wish. We have a fully equipped indoor bar with three separate fridges available, and no problem to set one up outside too.

All packaged up and ready for you to enjoy!
