Te Wharewaka o Pōneke

Mākaro Room

Mākaro Room is our largest and most versatile venue, offering expansive harbour views across Wellington’s waterfront. Designed for events that require scale and flexibility, the space features generous floor area, high ceilings, and seamless indoor–outdoor flow, making it ideal for conferences, gala dinners, large celebrations, and cocktail-style events. With multiple layout options and the support of our experienced in-house catering and events team, Mākaro Room delivers a polished, adaptable setting where large gatherings are hosted with ease, precision, and impact.

We welcome enquiries regarding cultural services in Te Raukura, Te Wharewaka o Pōneke spaces and can support your team to welcome manuhiri to Te Whanganui a Tara. Mākaro is an ideal space to hold Powhiri (formal welcome) or Mihi Whakatau (informal welcome).
