Reviews

Katie | Gilligan Sheppard

We had the most wonderful time, from start to finish - the staff were phenomenal, the food a huge highlight, and everyone loved the space

Erin | ASB

Our team of 18 held our annual conference at Cliffside. The Cliffside facilities & staff were amazing. Event organisers made sure all of our requirements were met, our chosen activities ran smoothly & all queries were answered promptly. I have had nothing but positive feedback from my team and they all enjoyed the experience.

Nicola | JLL

Food was very good, particularly how people with dietary requirements were catered for. Great cleanliness overall and bathrooms where well-equipped. The staff were excellent, nothing was too much trouble and they worked incredibly hard to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, was a great spot for a two-day conference

Kerri Jones | McAlpine Hussmann

From glamping tents, freely available coffee and spring water, our Murder Mystery dinner, and DIY Pizza Making -we had the perfect 2 day event. Your staff are so friendly, warm, and welcoming! Highly recommend Cliffside to businesses wanting a personal team experience. A huge thank you from McAlpine Hussmann.

Donna | Hen's Weekend

We had the Cliffside Venue to ourselves for a girls’ weekend celebrating the Bride-to-Be. We were well looked after and catered for over the entire weekend. Highly recommend the Cliffside Venue... Five Stars!

Charmian Hulme | McAlpine Hussmann

Fantastic event space, highly recommended and the team are awesome

Paula Kerr | Singapore Airlines

Attending the conference at Cliffside was a delight! The venue location is stunning, with breathtaking views that provided an inspiring backdrop for our sessions. The facilities were great, and all our needs were met in the one location.

Carolyn Turner | Unilever

Everyone really enjoyed the event, the staff were great, the food was fantastic and the whole event flowed without flaw. It was wonderful to do something a little different other than conferencing in a soulless hotel meeting room. Thank you so much for your efforts.

Solange Bason | McAlpine H ussmann

Such a great place for team off-site days! A well equipped venue with excellent amenities and cozy rooms for the night.

Paula Kerr | Singapore Airlines

Overall, our experience at Cliffside was brilliant. The combination of a beautiful location, great facilities, and fab service made it a memorable and productive event. We highly recommend Cliffside to anyone looking for an Auckland conference venue outside of the CBD."

Premilla | Southern Cross Healthcare

It was amazing – it’s like you literally took a hotel room and put it in a tent – which was awesome.

Rachel | 60th Celebration

We highly recommend Cliffside for any group event, the staff went over and above to ensure all guests enjoyed their stay. The facilities were great, plenty of delicious food and a great set up for the weekend.

Susan Stride | Pacific Commissioning & Coordination

Cliffside was perfect in every aspect for a company conference. Everything was exceptional, from the professional and friendly staff, to the delicious food and comfy beds to fall asleep in after a full day of team building. We couldn’t recommend it high enough.

Haydn | Lighting Plus Ltd

This place was a like no other, a private tropical retreat so close to Auckland, would certainly book again.

Marley | Arnotts

We truly enjoyed our conference at Glam Camping; it was great to enjoy the outdoors, connect with the team, all still while delivering the content we needed to. Staff was very friendly and helpful and the food was delicious! Would definitely recommend!

Zane & Alasha | On The Move Ltd

From start to finish, the glam camping village experience was 10/10. The simplicity of booking through a team with great communication skills, through to the friendly, efficient staff on the day made our event a total success. Our guests were blown away by the facilities, the ‘tents’, the food and the atmosphere of this unique experience. I highly recommend the glam camping village experience for a unique and memorable event - you won’t be disappointed!

Brad | Frucor Suntory Ltd

An authentic, yet quality location to hold a team offsite. From enquiry through to full experience and delivery I cannot speak highly enough of Glam Camping At Castaways Ltd.

Oliva & Stacy | Florescence

The team at Glam Camping go out of their way to create a memorable experience. The venue offers a fabulous alternative to standard conferencing.

Tony | Price Holyoake

A great experience in a resort style setting, where you can relax and enjoy the surroundings. The accommodation is top notch and the people made our stay exceptional. We recommend this as a venue and we will return.

Angela | Willowbank School

It was a fantastic experience, we were working in a beautiful setting, and being catered for throughout the day with wonderful food, service and atmosphere. It did not feel like work!

Eugenie Aran | Aura

We could not have asked for a better service for our work event. All of our team members were so impressed by the venue and how discrete and efficient the staff were.
