Welcome to Waipuna Conference Centre

Waipuna is one of New Zealand’s most comprehensive conference centres, with 17 flexible function rooms and a purpose-built 400 seat tiered theatre.

The majority of our function rooms have plenty of natural light and many have views of the stunning Panmure lagoon, providing a calming outlook.  We have all the facilities of an inner-city venue, without the traffic and parking hassles.

We have a wide variety of delicious seasonal menus available for morning and afternoon teas, lunches, plated dinners and buffet dinners, to suit a range of dietary requirements, tastes and budgets.

Over many years, we have perfected the art of a hosting a great event which means you can relax knowing that your conference or meeting will be handled by an experienced, passionate Event Coordinator, who will work together with you to deliver a successful event. 

Our staff are extremely proud of how we serve our community, and some have been with us for many, many years. This pride is reflected in all we do, in every part of the hotel. You can feel proud that your stay helps us to help others - who wouldn't feel good about that?

Our profits are channelled back into our local community supporting initiatives such as local parks and playgrounds, sports fields, local education, historic places and conservation.
