Venue Hire

Host Your Next Event at Wakatere

Located on the waterfront, Wakatere offers more than just sailing. We make our club hall available for hire to the wider community. Availability is seasonal and dependent on our sailing programme but don't fret, we're more than happy to work with you to make it happen!

Our club hall is the ideal venue for a wide range of events, including special celebrations, reunions, memorial services, and business meetings. It can accommodate up to 120 guests and boasts a picturesque view of Rangitoto framed by large pohutukawa trees. Our amazing beachfront location adds a special touch to any occasion.

Here at Wakatere, we're all about keeping things easy breezy. That's why we're one of the few self-catering venues in Auckland. So feel free to bring your own goodies and keep those expenses in check!
