About this space

BECROFT GALLERY - SOPHISTICATED AND CLASSY
Our art gallery is available for those larger functions or social gatherings. With an exhibition always on, your guests will have a lovely setting with lots of conversation starters right there in the room. This room has two sets of double doors that open out onto our front veranda for indoor/outdoor flow for those warm evenings.

Along with wifi, and access to our digital whiteboard and/or wine glasses (for additional costs), this light and airy space is more versatile than you might imagine. Meetings, presentations, sophisticated celebrations, the gallery is available for up to 60 people from 3pm on weekends and from 4pm during weekdays.

Features: tables and chairs are available on request. Wheelchair accessible.

If you are looking for that special venue to hold your meetings, training, small conference, workshops, or product launch we invite you to consider Lake House Arts Centre. Impress your clients, indulge your staff, friends and co-workers, and experience the unique setting of our stunning heritage buildings and grounds. Built entirely of heart kauri in the late 1800s, and relocated to Barry’s Point Reserve in 1996 from Takapuna Beach, our vibrant arts centre has been gracefully restored. The stunning gardens, free parking, conveniences, and accessibility to Auckland City makes Lake House Arts Centre an ideal venue for hire.

Lake House grounds comprise seven different spaces including the delightful onsite Café which can be hired after hours, and can cater for morning/afternoon tea and lunch. Room hire also provides access to the Lake House grounds which make the loveliest setting for outdoor functions and activities.

We look forward to offering you a warm welcome to Lake House Arts.
