Our Spaces

With a beautiful, paved entranceway the deconsecrated Old St Michael’s church provides a stunning venue for any event. Bench seating offers the chance to sit and chat whilst waiting for the wedding party's arrival or a spot to enjoy a well-deserved break away from a workshop.

Located on the main lawn of the Estate, the Church's surrounds offer the opportunity to throw out a picnic blanket in the sunshine or seek shelter under the plentiful tree canopy.

Quaint in size, its polished floorboards, tongue-and-groove wall panels, and leadlight windows nod to its rich history and former life across Great North Road, where it was originally built and stood for many years before being relocated to our historic site.

The Church is perfect for intimate gatherings, art workshops, celebrations, small civil ceremonies, film and television productions, and performances.

Opanuku Studio is a multi-functional space used regularly for dance rehearsals, wananga, workshops, and community events.

Located on the upper level of our Opanuku building with accessible lift - the Studio is light and airy with a mirrored wall, high ceilings, beams, and wooden floors.

The large frosted glass sliding doors can be opened to create more space and connect to the adjoining common area and adjacent kitchen and servery, or closed to make the space more private.

The Barrel Store is located in the Still Building which runs alongside the Western Line train track. This historic space exudes character with original wooden interior roof framing, windows, and brick walls. Reinforced and strengthened in the mid-2000s saw the installation of concrete walls and floors, and industrial heavy-duty steel beams.

The footprint of the space is long and narrow with an entrance door at one end and original large wooden barn-style sliding doors at the other secured with chunky chain and padlock. These open onto the exterior wooden deck and bench seats perfect to enjoy during warmer months.

It is frequently used for private events (subject to approval), film, music, photography shoots, exhibitions, and weddings, as well as a making and studio space.

Shed 2 has a unique history - originally built to accommodate the growth of the Corban Family Winery business from small to large-scale manufacture.

At 720sqm in size, the shed's basketball court markings are reminiscent of Basketball Auckland's tenancy of the space in the 90s. The space now lends itself to accommodate rehearsals, markets, community events, film, music, television shoots, and more.

Skylights provide a wonderful source of natural light during the day, and the walls lined with silver builders' paper behind raw framing offer a humble aesthetic.

Note: This venue is not available for weddings.
