At Brackenridge Country Retreat & Spa, conferences aren’t just about meetings—they’re about creating an environment where ideas flow as easily as the conversation over dinner. Just minutes from Martinborough village, yet surrounded by the stillness of the countryside, we offer the perfect balance of focus and relaxation.
As delegates arrive, they’re greeted by sweeping lawns, fresh country air, and a welcome that sets the tone for the day ahead. Our main conference room comfortably hosts up to 150 guests and can be configured to suit your agenda—whether it’s a formal presentation, interactive workshop, or networking event.
We take care of all the practicalities—onsite catering that keeps energy levels high, AV support that just works, and a team on hand to ensure your day runs like clockwork. Your delegates can focus on what matters: making connections, sharing ideas, and getting results.
Once the day’s work is done, the Wairarapa is yours to enjoy. Stay onsite in our comfortable accommodation, book a treatment in the day spa, or explore the vineyards and cellar doors just minutes away. A dinner under the stars or a wine tasting with colleagues turns a good conference into a memorable one.
Why rush? Extend your stay and make the most of our onsite accommodation and spa facilities. Wake up refreshed, walk to your morning session, and enjoy the benefits of hosting your event in one seamless location.
From small strategy sessions to large-scale conferences, our flexible spaces, country hospitality, and full range of onsite services give you the perfect setting to achieve your goals—while giving your team an experience they’ll actually look forward to.
