Meeting Rooms

We have four meeting rooms available at our facility - Te Āhuru Mōwai

Ngutu Kākā

Ngutu Kākā is the smallest meeting room (capacity 4)

The design on the windows, extending over the wall, is Ngutu Kākā (beak of the parrot).

The Ngutu Kākā is a native shrub whose flowers resemble the beak of the Kākā, a native parrot. The Kākā is a vocal bird (like any parrot) and this space is an embodiment of this bird, a place for wānanga, conversations, a space for people to come together and talk.

This meeting room has a fixed table and up to four chairs.

Tui Mayo

The Tui Mayo room is our medium sized meeting room (capacity 14)

The design on the windows is Takarangi. This has two intersecting spirals that represent our journey, our beginning in life and our movement in life. The centre of Takarangi represents the origin of all, the beginning. The space between the spirals symbolise Te Ao Marama (the world of light and knowledge) and the link to Te Ao Wairua (the spiritual world). The spirals are also representative of Ranginui and Papatūānuku and the close bond that they shared.

In 1962, Tui Mayo was elected to the Feilding Borough Council, on which she was to serve for 21 years. As chairperson of the council’s library and baths committee, Mayo campaigned strongly for a new library in Feilding. When the library opened in September 1980, one area featured a fine native-timber ceiling and dado recycled from the town’s former council chamber. The area was named the Tui Mayo wing. In the spirit of Takarangi, this dado and ceiling, which were there from the beginning of the journey, have been preserved and feature in this, the Tui Mayo Room.

This meeting room has a fixed table with up to 14 chairs. Smart Screen (MaxHub) with video conferencing capability.

Pātiki

Large event space/meeting room has a (capacity of 146) and has an additional exit onto the terrace.

The large event space/meeting rooms have been decorated with Pātiki design - the flounder fish. Pātiki represents abundance of food which is seen as fuel for body, but also for the brain, mind, imagination and dreams. Pātiki also represents manaakitanga (generosity and care for others), the design is plentiful, providing for everyone.

The colour palette around the main event space room represents the ocean floor, the part of the ocean where you can find the Pātiki (flounder fish). The sandy browns and ocean blues combine to create the muddy waters of the changing tidal rivers, another habitat of the flounder.

As a combined open space this room is called Pātiki, when separated Pātiki Tahuaroa (ocean) is the larger room and Pātiki Onepū (sand) is the slightly smaller room.

The tables and chairs in this space are mobile and can be set up to suit your needs, from full conference style, to meetings, or perhaps a birthday function. There is a Smart Screen (MaxHub) with video conferencing capability in both sides of the event space, or you can use the 120” projector screen and microphone system.
