Perfect location

  • Companies love our function room because it is centrally located between Nelson and Blenheim, only a 45 minute drive from each centre, thereby fairer for staff travelling from bases in each of these towns.

    It is very quiet too, nestled in a building away from the rest of the Mount Richmond complex.  For organisers, the lack of cell phone reception is a bonus as delegates can concentrate on what they are doing at their conference/meeting.  However, internet wi-fi is available.

  • Team building and bonding
