ON AN
Event Legacy
Do you like the idea of your event leaving a legacy? Your event can contribute to meaningful change in both the community and the environment.
Every little bit counts towards creating a sustainable future and that’s why we’re offering a unique way for you to contribute towards providing a meal for our national icon; the kiwi.
HOW IT WORKS
Choosing not to have your room serviced during an event helps us to conserve water and energy resources that will be redirected towards helping provide kiwi chicks a safe place to sleep and grow until they reach the all-important ‘stoat-proof’ weight of 1kg. YOUR CONTRIBUTION
For every five rooms that are not fully serviced, we will donate one bed for a kiwi at the Save the Kiwi crèche in Napier on behalf of your organisation.

For those delegates who enjoy getting away from the busy city life, there are countless walks which take you past the many beaches in the area. Auckland’s cultural icons such as the Auckland Domain, the museum, the Auckland Art Gallery and One Tree Hill can be incorporated into your conference and make unique out-catering venues.
