Abbeville Estate

The heritage-listed buildings and landscaped grounds that make up Abbeville Estate are over 150 years old and have been meticulously restored and contemporized for the needs of today.

They offer you a wealth of ways to tailor them to suit your event. From relaxed cocktails on the lawn to memorable weddings and christenings in the Church. From fully catered celebrations in the Homestead to extraordinary corporate events and fashion shows in the Barn. All within easy reach of the growing amenities of Auckland Airport. Built in 1854, the Homestead was christened Abbeville in the 1930s. Its transformation has been remarkable. The Homestead seats 80 in its main dining room. Large doors lead from this room to a welcoming Garden Room which can be used as a conference break-out space or cocktail area. The Garden Room seats 20 and with the doors open, the entire dining and Garden Room flow into one. A separate parlour provides a private space for dressing and function preparations. For events that do not require seating, the Homestead can accommodate up to 180. An original part of the Homestead, the Barn offers an authentic and rustic air to any event. The hewn timber frames speak of over 150 years of history. Below your feet, rustic flooring adds an earthiness to the space. The Barn can comfortably accommodate up to 200 guests for cocktails. It can also be set up to seat up to 40 inside. The traditional landscaped grounds surrounding the historic buildings includes a kitchen garden whose produce is harvested freshly for our menus. Rolling farmland and trees ring the property for privacy, while the canopy of the Estate’s stately Puriri tree provides cooling shade. There is no limit to the number that can be accommodated in the gardens. Seating can also be organised, whether open air or on the lawn under a marquee. A large parking area is off the main driveway.

I've worked with Jess and Bronson on 2 events at Abbeville Estate now and both have run perfectly. They are very organised and, importantly, flexible to change requirements on the day as needed.

The venue, service, catering were all outstanding - first class and extremely professional. I would like to especially thank Bronson, our Duty Manager. He was very personable, intelligent, attentive and quietly made sure the event was managed smoothly and effortlessly. I highly recommend the venue in every way.

These guys exceeded all expectations: the venue itself was fantastic, the staff were extremely friendly, polite, very competent and super-professional. Nothing was too much trouble for them to do, and every request was swiftly executed. And so many nice touches, like the light blankets when the wind got up and people were getting cold. And then there was the food! It was fantastic, and a beautiful variety of flavours and textures. It kept on coming, and even those people seated furtherest from the kitchen entrance got plenty to eat, and the full range. Also the special-diet people had no complaints as they got enough of their specific choices. So please pass my compliments on to the kitchen staff as well.
