Went for a lovely small wedding40 people. Gorgeous setting. Just right size for smaller group sizes

Delilah Basabas

Got invited on a company event for a sailing race course with Elliot 7 and one of my most thrilling activity as I'm not into sailing or done other water activities apart from swimming in pools and beach. Felt very privileged to be inside this building and saw all the memorabilia of NZ sailing. Had drinks and nibbles in their bar area and also bought souvenir - shorts and shirt with RNZYS emblem which are so cool. The old building with quite outdated interior is not a downside of the rich history the building houses. There is a great view from the first floor of the outside surroundings of the marina and harbour.

This public venue is impressive enough because of its location which reinforces the nautical theme of this grand building. This guardian of The Americas Cup is laden with rooms to cater for multiple events that truly have iconic views.

Food & service was good - thank you!
