Woodhill Park Retreat

Mini-conference facilities


The Woodhill Park Research Retreat is an ideal venue for mini-conferences and workshops.  Woodhill Park Retreat is on 6.5 peaceful acres and the well insulated house has seven bedrooms, two bathrooms, three toilets and two kitchens.  Aside from being able to help with catering, conference and programme design as well as facilitation hints, we provide:

  • A spacious, well lit teaching facility that can seat around 20 people at tables and up to seven separate break-out spaces .  Our attractive teaching and learning facilities stimulate quality learning activities;
  • An abundance of power outlets for lap-top computers and wireless Internet access by arrangement;
  • A data-show for hire;
  • A suite of software that can be accessed by arrangement;
  • A number of attractive outdoor spaces that can be used for team building and/or group-work;  
  • Accommodation for 6–12 people on a home-stay basis with each bedroom set up as a private study space.  (Academics on sabbatical, visiting scholars and thesis candidates can apply to use the self-contained 'flat' and can either have their meals supplied or can self-cater.)

Our prices are not off-the-planet and we are amenable to negotiating fees-for-service with both long-term users and those from the not-for-profit sector. Our philosophy is to advance multi-cultural practices within the bi-cultural framework that is enshrined within Aotearoa New Zealand.  Contact Jenny Hansen or Dr. Jens Hansen to discuss your mini-conference and workshop needs.  Prices, ex- GST, are shown in the table below:
