Add a historical twist to your next meeting, hui or small function

With its high ceiling, wood panelled walls, large sash windows and old-fashioned blackboards (complete with a cursive writing display), this building will truly take you back in time. This is an original venue that has lived many lives and been well-used by generations of locals. However, all modern necessities are provided including a whiteboard, projection screen, heating and air conditioning.

The Schoolhouse is surrounded by lush greenery which can be viewed through expansive windows, creating a peaceful atmosphere so your group can relax and concentrate on the task at hand.

On-site catering is available at this venue if requested, making it an ideal space for a small meeting, hui or conference break-out session. A wide ramp at the entranceway ensures this venue is accessible to all.
