Aaiotanga Community Space

The Aaiotanga Community Space (ASC) provides a rare option for gatherings in Auckland City Centre.

Very affordably priced, we offer a warm and welcoming environment that is particularly handy for city centre apartment dwellers who might be looking for extra space for their hosting.

Our venue is a large lounge type environment with plenty of clear space to set up chairs or tables. It is perfect for meetings, workshops, classes, presentations, meet-ups, yoga, community groups, meditation, chess groups, kids classes, rehearsals, book readings, poetry, acoustic music performances - and much more. It could even be used as intimate wedding venue.

It comfortably holds 40 people seated and 50 people if standing. We have 2 toilets and a small kitchenette located in the foyer adjacent to the venue. Please note, this is a heritage building so diability access is limited and needs to be arranged prior with the venue hosts.

If you are an unfunded community group, we offer discounted rates. Please email [email protected] to find out more.

The hire of the space includes:

• WiFi

• Whiteboard

• Projector & Screen (HMDI cable included)

• Tables

• Chairs

• Power

• Bluetooth Speaker (a larger sound system can be accessed by arrangement)

• Use of the small kitchenette

• Couches & arm chairs

• 40 padded meeting style chairs

Our space is an inclusive and respectful environment. Whoever you are, will be celebrated in this space. We are proud supporters of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and are a safe space for the rainbow community.

Please note that the building is not yet wheelchair accessible though we do have a portable ramp that we are able to put in place when required. Use of this requires supervision by the venue hosts.

Catering and Alcohol

You are welcome to self cater your event at Aaiotanga. We have a small kitchen space with cups and glasses for up to 40 people. Plates, bowls and cutlery to serve up to 20. You are also welcome to use external caterers.

Please note that however you cater your event, you need to leave the space as you found it. Please book enough time to clean up the space and kitchen.

It's OK to bring small amounts of alcohol for a private gathering, but not to sell it. Any events that are open to the public / publically adverstised, must seek permission from Auckland Council for a liquor licence.
