Venue Hire Facilities 

'I would like to thank you and Tony for providing the team with a great afternoon. The team enjoyed themselves and found it was the perfect way to close out a quite stressful and full on project we had been working on for the last 10 months. It was great to unwind and Tony was fab (and patient) to us. Please pass on our appreciation.

I look forward to future opportunities to unwind at the club.'

Naomi Kininmont, Digital Delivery Lead - Placemakers, November 2024

'I just wanted to thank you all so much for an amazing night last night. Please pass on our thanks to Arthur and Lynda too.

Both Coda and KiwiRail team members have given very positive feedback about the venue facilities, delicious burgers, and helpful Guides.

It was the perfect setting for our event of bringing two teams together, having fun and building strong working relationships.

We will be sure to let others know about your awesome event offering.'
