Types of groups and events we host
Small conferences and meetings
Our Naseby conference venue can host small conferences, training days and meetings for up to around 50 delegates. The layout works well for presentations, workshops and focused planning sessions, with breakout options in the restaurant or outdoors when the weather is fine.
Team retreats and strategy days
If you are bringing a team away from the office, Naseby offers a quiet environment where people can slow down, think clearly and spend time together. You can use the conference room for structured sessions, the restaurant for shared meals and the wider area for outdoor activities or free time.
Sports groups and clubs
We regularly host sports teams, cycling crews, mountain bikers and motorbike groups. Naseby is also a convenient base for groups riding sections of the Otago Central Rail Trail. The apartments provide comfortable bases for smaller groups, while the restaurant and conference centre offer an easy space for briefings, shared meals or evening catch ups.
Family gatherings and celebrations
For family birthdays, anniversaries, small weddings or weekend get-togethers, the combination of multiple apartments and a private dining space works well. You can book a number of apartments together, use the restaurant for a special meal and still step outside into a quiet, scenic setting.
Tours and rallies
Naseby is a popular stop for South Island motorcycle tours and rallies. Thanks to our convenient location, it is easy to include Naseby in your route. We offer secure parking, comfortable self-contained apartments and a warm welcome at the end of your day’s ride.
Most groups we host range from 8 to 25 guests, but we regularly work with gatherings up to around 50 people using the full venue.
A simple way to plan your group stay
Planning a group trip can feel complicated. Our aim is to keep things straightforward and flexible.
- Tell us the basics - dates or approximate timing, group size, type of event and any must-haves.
- We will come back with options for apartment allocation, use of the conference centre and restaurant, and suggested catering.
- Once you are happy, we confirm your booking and finalise the details together.
We can also suggest local activities and timing so that your group has the right balance of focused time and free time while you are here.
Ideas for your time in Naseby
If you are looking for ways to make the most of your time in Naseby, the area offers a wide mix of activities. Popular options include mountain biking and walking in the nearby forest, curling and other ice sports in winter, exploring the Otago Central Rail Trail, and outdoor adventures such as 4x4 off-road trips, gold panning at historic sites, or a relaxing swim in the local dam.
If you would like help fitting activities around your meeting or event schedule, just let us know when you enquire. You can also find more inspiration on our Things to do page.
Accommodation for groups
Naseby Apartments include a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments, each with a separate living area and a fully equipped kitchen. All bedrooms feature split super-king beds that can be configured as doubles or twins. For group stays, this means:
- Guests can share apartments where it makes sense, while still having their own beds and personal space
- Self-catering is easy if some meals are not included in your event
- Longer stays feel comfortable and unhurried
If you would like to see how your group might be accommodated, we can suggest a rooming layout when you get in touch.

Tell us about your group or event
To help us put together a clear proposal for your group, please share a few details about what you are planning. You do not need to have everything decided - an outline of your dates, group size and the type of event is a good start.
It is helpful if you include:
- Your preferred dates or date range
- Approximate number of guests needing accommodation
- Approximate total numbers on the day (including any extra day visitors)
- The type of event (for example conference, team retreat, club gathering, birthday, small wedding, tour or rally)
- Any meeting needs (for example use of the conference room, presentation equipment, breakout spaces)
- Any catering needs (which meals you would like us to provide, any dietary requirements)
- Any accessibility requirements or special considerations
If you prefer to talk things through, you can simply call us and we will take it from there. Check our Contact page for details.
