Venue Hire

We offer the perfect combination of oceanfront relaxation and professional amenities.

Located on the beautiful Midway Beach in Gisborne Tairāwhiti, our brand-new Mana Moana Lounge, opened in November 2023, is the ideal location for community events, meetings, and social gatherings.

This unique oceanfront venue comfortably seats up to 100 people, offering expansive 180-degree views of the sea, stretching from Te Kurī-a-Pāoa (Young Nicks Head) to Tuamotu Island – a backdrop that sets an unforgettable scene for any occasion. Nowhere else in Tairāwhiti offers a beachfront venue with a stunning backdrop such as Midway Beach.

The lounge opens onto a spacious 5-metre-deep balcony, providing stunning views over Midway Beach. With ample room for guests to mingle and enjoy the scenery, this versatile space is perfect for community gatherings, business functions, and celebrations.

A Flexible, Self-Service Venue to Make Your Own

Our function lounge is available for hire as a self-service space, providing you with the freedom to personalise the venue to your vision. When you book the Mana Moana Lounge, you’ll have full control to set up, decorate, and cater as you wish. Bring in your own food, beverages, and entertainment, or partner with vendors of your choice. We ensure the lounge is prepped and cleaned prior to your arrival, and the rest is up to you – a perfect option for those who want a truly customised experience in a beautiful setting.
