The Perfect Waterfront Venue in Auckland

Host Your Next Event at Wakatere Boating Club

Located on the waterfront, Wakatere offers more than just sailing. We make our club hall available for venue 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 Auckland venue hire is the ideal venue for a wide range of events, including special celebrations, reunions, memorial services, and business meetings. The venue can accommodate up to 120 guests and boasts a picturesque view of Auckland's 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 Auckland venue hires. So feel free to bring your own goodies and keep those expenses in check!
