River Rooms

The Rivers Room, divisible into the Rakaia and Waitaki rooms, is our premier event space. Overlooking the Ōtākaro Avon River this is a truly flexible space that can be used for a flat-floor plenary, large breakout area and exhibitions, but is most well-known for hosting fine-dining banquets.

The Rivers Room provides a warm, open space with captivating views of the Avon River. The expansive windows and unique ceiling design provide a dynamic space. The ceiling was inspired by the undulating nature of our local braided rivers and is a modern take on a traditional chandelier but also houses state-of-the-art intelligent lighting solutions.

With movable sound-proof walling panels, this 1,545sqm space can also be divided into two separate rooms allowing for the scalability of events, each with their own entry.
