Palmerston North City offers a variety of options when it comes to convention venues, including purpose-built convention centres, major hotel chains, an iconic brewery, motels, an Edwardian theatre, an international motorsport track and a country club where you can step out of the meeting room and straight onto the golf course or driving range.

Palmerston North City has a great range of hotels (up to 4+ star) and motels to cater for your conference delegates’ every need. Or if you’re searching for a more relaxing pace then there are plenty of rural and exclusive retreats to choose from.

Unforgettable Experiences

There are few places in New Zealand where within 12 minutes from a major city you can enjoy one of our country’s most iconic natural playgrounds, Te Apiti -Manawatu Gorge and come face to face with the sculpture of Whatonga, the mighty warrior of the gorge.

Adrenaline pumping activities abound, such as bungy jumping, white water rafting, and kite surfing. For the cultured among us, a trifecta of museums will take you through New Zealand’s history, from rugby through to agriculture, arts and cultural heritage.
