M. C.

An amazing space to host our regular Artisan Craft Market once a month, the staff are fantastic to work with and super supportive, especially in these challenging times.

G. W.

Manaaki Management, the functions team at Wharewaka, is fantastic to deal with. We had to chop and change event arrangements as COVID restrictions changed. They were so helpful and supportive. The event went off without a hitch. The staff are all amazing.

H. M.

Really enjoyed my time here. I celebrated my brothers wedding. Great service, beautiful food, Wharewaka did a great job in catering for the wedding. Excellent job to our waiters. Definitely will dine again.

G. L.

Attended a seminar. The food (Buffet) was delicious, & the dessert - Petite Fours, were incredible!. The function room itself was setup caberet style, looked welcoming & professional; great sound quality too. Could'nt fault my experience.

A. D.

Great facility with excellent views & located on our vibrant waterfront. The Admin staff provide prompt clear communication and are very easy to deal with. Staff at the event were helpful and friendly. Venue is clean, spacious, & has modern décor. Cafe/Bar onsite. What more do you need? Thanks Guys!

The Wellington Functions Team catered a dinner for us recently in Wellington. The presentation of the food was amazing and the kai delicious. The staff were very helpful and considerate and I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

L. K.

Always a great experience whether having a function or dining at Te Wharewaka. All the staff are so friendly, helpful and professional. The food is delicious and a good selection of vegan options too! Thanks Keri, Paul & the Wharewaka team.

C. J.

The staff were very helpful and friendly, the food was amazing and the desert was scrumptious. Beautiful views at night even when it’s raining. Very central to the night life in Wellington. Will definitely go back.

p. G.

Absolutely fantastic...staff were brilliant hosts all night

J. C.

I went there to perform a film shoot. Photographing the attendees of the conference, and later in the evening, dinner at the conference centre. The food was nice as was the rooms. One of which could be opened out to the pier and the harbour. The staff there, though I didn't have much contact with, were very professional in their conduct.

v. v.

Function centre is a great location, facilities and staff were well managed and very helpful. Organisation and engagement in planning our event was very flexible, clear and responsive....and the food....impeccable! We will be back.

C. O.

Highly recommend the Wharewaka for a function - the communication was fantastic from the function co-ordinator, the team onsite on the day had great service and were available during the entire function. The food was delicious and they organised everything, including the AV Equipment. Our clients had a fantastic time and we will use the function centre again! Thanks team!!

W. P.

Very professional staff and food served during a celebration was of a high and consistent standard. A brilliant venue which can be used in many different ways :)

C. J.

Great place, staff go out of their way for people. Always a great vibe and super delicious food

K. G.

The staff were super attentive and professional. Everything was meticulously planned out and our SGM went perfectly - the food was presented beautifully and was delicious. Thank you for everything

P. J. S.

Q side I can recommend, didn't stay at the C side, so no comment. Good, clean, friendly and close to everything. (Cleaning the breakfast tables could have been a little quicker, but not a biggie.) Highly recommended.

We had our wedding here, and it was the perfect place to have it! It was a stunning day and before we went into the Function center we took wedding photos all along the wharf and by the boat sheds. Even took some cheesy Titanic-like photos on the big crane boat nearby. Then we had the ring ceremony in one of the large rooms upstairs, and then took photos with friends and family in the rooms beside it. Then proceeded downstairs for the Reception and Food. The Food was amazing! (Especially those medallion steaks!) The Staff were helpful and friendly, and the Location is the best in Wellington! Wouldn't change anything about that day, it went perfectly.

S. C.

Always excellent, amazing views,helpful staff, delicious food and event management that goes the extra mile.

D. A. O.

Great for conferences and private meetings, food and beverage, excellent view of the harbour, night view is epic.

G. M.

I attended the Wellington Safety In The City Awards had a great time the venue was fantastic thank you.

K. T.

Nice waitress, nice kai. Being a big eater, wished they had bigger portions 😒😊. Absolutely would visit again.

J. S.

The New Zealand Deerstalkers Association held their Annual Conference at this venue and hosted more than a hundred members. Over the three days, the staff showed exceptional attention to all delegates. The food served was a spread of Maori Fusion which delighted most of our pallets.

C. M.

Lovely location, big breakfast lived up to its name, with the black pudding been most enjoyable. Coffee was OK but a perhaps a little cool on arrival. Service was friendly and attentive.

A. B.

I went to Karaka cafe with some work colleagues on a brilliantly sunny Wellington day. As most people know there aren't that many options for sunny cafes so we were lucky to get a seat. Given its location I would assume this place would get a lot of tourists which really concerns me given the service we got from the wait staff. We had 3 people serving us which seemed kind of bizarre in itself and none of them seemed to talk to each other. One staff member had a real attitude problem and instead of asking whether we 'were ready to order' we were asked 'what do you want to eat'. Not exactly the most polite person I have ever been served by. Our order included some of the salads from the front cabinet, we were told we might be lucky as a big table had just ordered a lot of the cabinet food. But she would 'let us know'. There was no 'letting us know' instead we received our salads after a short wait which was impressive given the number of people dining there. One of the salads was a beetroot, spinach, pinenut and feta salad however when it arrived it appeared someone had stolen all the feta as it looked as though one crumb of feta had been skidded over the top of a piece of beetroot! We thought best to speak up and once we managed to find a waitress (one without the attitude) we were rewarded with a bounty of feta in a wee bowl on the side which was nice. All in all it was a bit of a disappointing experience, and I would be particularly concerned if this is the image Wellington is sending to our tourists.

P. V.

Great coffee with the variety of sweets to choose from. Also has seats outside where you can look out to the lagoon. Beautiful location at the waterfront and worth to try their menu.

A.

Had two workshops there. The views are breathtaking. The service is great, the food could maybe get a little upgrade for the price they charge...

D. L.

What a great spot bean bags by the water reasonably priced drinks and great looking food. In Wellington for four days for WOW went there three times. Take a hat.

N. Y.

Great venue; excellent service and catering; helpful and attentive staff

J. F.

Was in a small room upstairs, as the building is a "green building" there is no air conditioning - and it was uncomfortably warm. Food served for the function was all finger foods and mostly fried which left everyone feeling heavy and tired for the afternoon and evening sessions.

M. C.

The Wharewaka Function Centre is a great venue for a range of events. The staff who coordinate bookings and set it up are fantastic!

J. A. R.

Friendly staff, willing to cater to all food options Maori cultural settings, close to waterfront, beautiful setting inside & outside

S. K.

Awesome service and the Kai was just as good 😀would highly recommend to family and friends .

P. F.

Havnt had a hangi (traditional maori food) in ages. It was a treat.

K. W.

It served a purpose as a function centre. Lunch was good but nowhere to stand or sit other than back in the conference room. Toilets in an odd place.

M. R.

I was there for a conference. Was sitting close to the AC and was cold for two days. Probably need to look into how they provide temperate conditions

I. K.

Very nice venue, the food is not too bad.

D. V. G. (. p.

A great venue for a larger wedding ceremony and reception with an upstairs conference room and larger open space downstairs, you have a couple of options. David - Wellington wedding photographer - Von Photography

An excellent venue for seminars and workshops nestled by the lagoon and by Wellington's great waterfront. Try the food in the cafe attached - delicious food and great service

R. K.

Lovely facilities and very helpful staff. Good cafe too.

It's on a really good location, good for a little chill on the bean bags on a sunny afternoon. The live music on Saturday afternoon is really cool.
