Our Functional Rooms
Hosting conferences and business events of less than 20 people right up to 200, our venue offers plenty of natural light, AV facilities and onsite catering. Everything you need for your event to be productive and successful.
Set away from the bustle of the city, Windy Ridge offers a more relaxed environment to learn and play, offering two main function rooms each boasting their own unique style. The spaces can be utilised together for a change of scene, lunch or break out spaces. For formal dinners or lunches, the rooms can be transformed into a stylish banquet room or relaxed and casual mix and mingling space. All conferences include tables, chairs, linen, water throughout the day, pen, paper and mints. Projector, whiteboards, flip chart, printing and photocopying are all available upon request.
Our handy location, mid-way between Hamilton and Te Awamutu, 5 minutes from Mystery Creek and Hamilton airport, and only 10 minutes from Cambridge, offers great conferencing facilities.
