About this space

Karekare Surf Life Saving Club is a brand new function venue situated on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Overlooked by the famous Watchman ridge and with views out the the wild west coast black sands, this is a truly one-of-a-kind venue.

The venue is open only for Surf Life Saving Club use between Labour Day and Waitangi Day, and weekends until Easter. However, we're happy to take requests for special occasions and discuss the logistics with you. Please message us if you are interested in using the facility during this period.

This page describes our corporate or private event venue offering. The main function space has a large flexible area that could work for a theatre style presentation set up or for formal table seating. There is a smaller meeting/boardroom space that connects to the main space and includes a bar area. The space has an open plan, modern kitchen with beautiful portable marble topped benches that work for informal serving areas, seating or workshops. There is a small front deck with exceptional views and direct access the beach. Aside from the stunning location, the best thing about this venue is that you can stay here as well! There are 20 comfortable bunks across 5 bedrooms that are perfect if you need an overnight retreat or getaway for your team.

This space is ideally suited for: Corporate away days, professional classes e.g. photography workshops or art schools, team retreats, wellness retreats, training and professional development, film screenings, intimate concerts or gigs, private parties and celebrations.

Location & club environment

The venue is located in Karekare. The nearest amenities are in Glen Eden or Titirangi, approximately 30 minute drive away. In the area are stunning walks around Karekare beach and bush, Piha beach and tracks and the wider Waitakere ranges. This venue is a working surf club in a remote area! Therefore a bit of sand and wild weather is to be expected.
