VENUE TELEMETRY — REV 2026.09

Conference & Event Hall

Four hundred square metres cut into the hillside, a stage window that frames the Remarkables, and a technician who stays in the room all day instead of vanishing after the sound check. From NZ$1,200 a day, catering from our own kitchen.

Layouts

Four configurations, one room

Rev. 2026.09 — flip times under 45 min
LAYOUT 01 — THEATRE

180 guests

Conferences and keynotes. Full AV, confidence monitors, lectern with its own lamp because speakers are nervous creatures.

LAYOUT 02 — BANQUET

90 guests

Round tables of ten, dance floor in front of the stage, and a kitchen that's 40 metres — not a courier run — away.

LAYOUT 03 — BOARDROOM

40 guests

One long table, leather chairs, and the quietest HVAC in the building. The annual strategy session room.

LAYOUT 04 — COCKTAIL

220 guests

Standing format for launches and reunions. Bar at both ends so nobody forms a queue with opinions.

How an event runs

Three steps, one phone number

01 — Enquire

Tell Priya's team the date and the headcount. You'll get a floor plan and a firm quote the same day — not a brochure and a prayer.

02 — Plan

AV run-sheet, menu tasting, room flip schedule. One document, one contact, zero surprises on the day.

03 — Host

The technician stays in the room all day. If a microphone dies mid-keynote, it's back in ninety seconds.

SITE VISITS Walk the hall before you sign anything.

AV & technology

The kit, maintained by the man who installed it

Stage & projection

5-metre screen, dual laser projectors, confidence monitors and a lectern mic that has never squealed. We checked the logs.

SOUND

Line-array speakers tuned to the room's acoustics. Speech is intelligible in the back row — we test it there, not at the mixing desk.

Wireless mics ×6

Lighting

Stage wash, uplighting in your brand colour if you ask nicely, and blackout curtains for the presentations that need them.

Hybrid streaming

Fibre-backed 500 Mbps, dedicated streaming laptop feed and a camera position that doesn't film the exit sign.

Event catering from the Joyavero kitchen — canapés and plated dinner service
Catering

Forty metres from kitchen to stage

Our own kitchen does the catering — Tane's team builds menus around what's in season within 50 km, handles every dietary requirement on the list, and plates 90 covers without a single cold plate. We know because we count.

MENUS Seasonal, 3 tasting rounds
DIETARY Every requirement, on the list
COFFEE Unlimited, all day

"Conference food has a bad reputation because most of it travels. Ours walks over from the kitchen — you can taste the difference and the lack of plastic."

— Tane Whitiora, head chef

From the run sheets

The organizer and the retreat leader

"Three annual summits here. The AV has never failed, the dietary list has never been missed, and Priya answers her own phone — I didn't know venues still did that."

"We moved our alpine retreat here three winters ago and nobody has suggested anywhere else since. Sixty guests, sole use, and the stage window during the closing talk — you can't stage-manage that."
