Conferences
With our exceptional local knowledge and customer service, we’ll look after you and your delegates for a conference to remember. To make a booking or inquiry, fill out the quote request form or give us a call to arrange your itinerary.
Conferences aren’t just seminars at the hotel; in fact research has shown that people learn more doing hands on things and by getting regular breaks that have nothing to do with the subject at hand.
When planning a conference in Hawke’s Bay or Taupo don’t forget to show off the highlights of the region. Taste the amazing fresh food and sample the stunning award winning Hawke’s Bay wines, throw a rod into the lakes and rivers and catch a trophy trout, do a skydive over the lake or take a trip to Mt Ruapehu. We can organise transportation for your delegates or partner programmes to and from your conference venue, off-site venue or dinner/event options. Get your team home safely and in one piece so they can talk about your event, business and hospitality in a positive way.
If guests are flying in, we can arrange to pick them up and transport them to their accommodation. Wow your guests by travelling in one of our 5-star luxury coaches with luxury aircraft style individual leather reclining seats. We can accommodate all of your needs with wheelchair-accessible buses, provide water, additional luggage facilities, on-board DVD-player, and more.

Hawke's Bay is one of the best Cruise Port destinations in New Zealand. Voted the 2nd best port in New Zealand 2013-2014 season by cruise ship passengers. Second behind Milford Sounds and the passengers don't even get off the ships there.

Hawke's Bay is building a reputation of the Event Capital of New Zealand. With amazing venues, stunning weather and dedicated can do attitudes the region is perfectly placed for Events. From the Mission Concert to Art Deco Weekend, from Horse of the Year to the International festival of Hockey we have it all and can do it all.

Art Deco Weekend (3rd weekend in February every year) is one of Hawke's Bays biggest and best weekends. This event attracts over 30,000 people to our region. This is a MUST DO event in New Zealand
