About The Elm Centre

Organisers looking for a new venue in one of New Zealand’s most picturesque locations for staff training, team building or events should consider The Elm Centre for conferences in Waikanae.

In a quiet corner of the beautiful Kapiti Coast, the centre is one of Waikanae’s best-kept secrets. A conference centre with a village atmosphere all its own, nestled in a quiet area of El Rancho Waikanae Christian Holiday Park.

The Elm Centre is set among 70 acres of park land 60 kilometers north of Wellington. Situated beside Waikanae River, with the beach just a short walk away, The Elm Centre is the perfect place for conferences, training or retreats.

Steeped in History

There is an historic chapel on a small incline overlooking The Elm Centre, that is steeped in history and which has provided a quiet retreat for generations.

“There is just so much to do here. We always encourage organisers to come here and see the site, so they can appreciate the options available to them,” Elm Court Director, Ian Jones says.

“In addition to our own facilities people can take the river track walk to the beach to relax, and we are also close to all the Waikanae attractions, like the Nga Manu bird sanctuary, the Southwood car museum and the Lindale Tourist Complex.”
