Skyline Rotorua

Set high above Rotorua on the slopes of Mount Ngongotahā, Skyline Rotorua offers an unforgettable setting for conferences, corporate events, weddings, private functions and celebrations. Guests begin their experience with a scenic Gondola ride, taking in sweeping views of Lake Rotorua, Mokoia Island, the city and surrounding geothermal landscape.

Skyline Rotorua features a collection of distinctive event spaces, ranging from panoramic dining rooms to a secluded venue among the redwoods. Each event can be tailored to suit the occasion, with professional planning support, quality catering and a range of exciting activities available in one spectacular location.

Stratosfare Restaurant and Bar is Skyline Rotorua’s premier event space, offering 180-degree views across Rotorua and towards Mount Tarawera. The flexible venue can be divided for smaller gatherings or opened to accommodate up to 350 guests for a banquet and 1,000 for a cocktail function. With audiovisual capabilities, a fully serviced bar and catering options ranging from cocktails and canapés to buffet and set menus, Stratosfare is well suited to conferences, gala dinners, weddings and large-scale celebrations.

For something truly different, the Hidden Forest Venue is nestled among towering redwood trees beside the Tiki Tour Luge track. This purpose-built marquee accommodates up to 180 guests for buffet-style dining and features a central open kitchen where guests can watch the chefs at work. Guests can arrive by shuttle—or make an entrance by riding the Luge through the forest beneath colourful LED lights.

Smaller groups can also explore options including Market Kitchen and the Volcanic Hills Tasting Room. Skyline experiences such as the Luge, Hyfly Ziplines, Skyswing and wine tasting can be added to create memorable team-building days and corporate celebrations.

Combining spectacular scenery, exceptional food, attentive service and plenty of adventure, Skyline Rotorua offers much more than a traditional event venue. From the Gondola ride up to the final toast overlooking the lake, every part of the experience gives guests something to talk about.
