Milford Cruising Club Deck

Our North Shore Venue

Amidst the impressive Pōhutukawa trees of the Milford Reserve on Auckland’s North Shore, the function venue at Milford Cruising Club is a hidden gem for all types of occasions, business events, parties and celebrations.

Our versatile venue is hired by both our members and the general public to host a wide range of events from wedding receptions, birthday parties, wakes or memorial services, engagement parties and wedding anniversaries to business functions, staff Christmas parties and even art exhibitions.

We have 2 spaces available:

  • Main Function Venue
  • Wairau Room

Main Function Venue

The main function room on the first floor is light and spacious, with a wooden dance floor and open plan bar. The room is very generous and has floor to ceiling sliding doors which recess back to provide seamless indoor/outdoor flow onto the wrap around deck where you are encompassed by the beautiful Milford Reserve, the marina and beach beyond.

The versatile venue is hired by both members and the public to host a wide range of events:  corporate functions, workshops, conferences, birthday’s, engagement and Christmas parties, weddings and receptions, fundraisers, community events, wakes or memorials, milestone celebrations and even art exhibitions.

With plenty of free public parking and only 8 minutes’ drive from Takapuna and 20 from Auckland CBD, it couldn’t be more convenient.

The deck area and Reserve also offer the perfect backdrop for photographs, or additional break out spaces for team building or activities.
