As versatile as it is impressive, Highwic is the NZHPT's flagship for its Auckland functions operations. Invite your guests to enjoy for themselves the elegance and charm of this Victorian gem.

With attractive grounds spacious enough for a large marquee, and plenty of on-site parking, Highwic is suitable for a wide range of functions including corporate dinners, cocktail parties and wedding receptions.

Central but private, it is a haven in the heart of Newmarket, Auckland's premier shopping precinct. The motorway nearby means easy access from the central city, north or west Auckland and the airport. Out of town guests can find accommodation in a choice of motels an easy walking distance away.

Highwic's spaces are both versatile and flexible, offering opportunities for both small and large groups. It is open to view Wednesday - Saturday.

For more information, call Highwic on (09) 524 5729 or email us.

A tree canopied rise next to the croquet court is ideal for a garden ceremony, or you can choose to be married in the ballroom. The availability of both spaces means you don't have to be anxious about the weather. Being able to hold your ceremony and reception at the one venue saves a lot of hassle and hold-ups for your guests.

Your guests can explore the house and grounds while you take advantage of the many photo opportunities around the house and grounds.

We offer two options for wedding ceremonies. Please contact us to arrange to visit Highwic so we can show you how the rooms can be used and give you a more personalised venue hire costing.

Entertaining your guests

Highwic's historic Billiard Room seats 60 for your wedding reception and can be used in conjunction with the Drawing Room or the garden for pre-dinner cocktails.
