Nestled in the bush-covered Waitakere Ranges, with its award-winning Nikau Pavilion, Tui Hills offers a native garden setting and character function space where you feel a million miles from anywhere, but only 30 minutes drive from town.
Want to host a party or wedding, reward staff with a special night out, host a luncheon, launch a new product or organise a meeting or presentation? Tui Hills is situated on Scenic Drive in West Auckland, it's the perfect venue for an event with that Kiwi feel. There are three spaces, inside and out, plus a 40-vehicle car park, available to suit your needs. The award-winning Nikau Pavilion provides a huge 160sqm space for presentations, launches and other events, with the all-around glass sides able to be slid open to get you closer to nature. The 7-metre-high translucent roof gives perfect soft lighting for photography. In 2024 the Nikau Pavilion received a Gold Medal for spatial design at the prestigious Best Design Awards of the Design Institute of New Zealand. The medal is for a combination of both aesthetic look and design innovation. The judges commented: “This is a well-considered intervention which finely balances the weight and presence of the structure with a sense of lightness. The roof appears to float amongst the canopy layers of the native bush. This attention extends into the detailing and operability of the structure to support its various event functions and modes.” A big thank you to Jack O’Neill and the team at Strata Architects, Auckland for their design, and Fever Pitch Building for constructing this wonderful space for our customers. You can break for meals, or enjoy dining and dancing at night, in the Nectar Room. While the Kowhai Glade pprovides a beautiful garden setting with its iconic rotunda.
