Your Perfect Christmas Function Venue
Markovina Estate transforms into a festive escape just 20 minutes from Auckland CBD, offering a memorable setting for your team's Christmas party. Nestled within 10 acres of beautiful gardens, the venue features versatile indoor spaces perfect for a festive gala or intimate gathering. Guests can dine beneath a canopy of vines and vintage lights, or gather by the schist fireplace for a cosy atmosphere. With dedicated event packages covering great food, inclusive beverages, and a DJ, the family-owned Estate ensures your team's year-end celebration is seamless, sophisticated, and full of holiday cheer.
Combined Themed Events
Markovina Estate is an excellent choice for businesses seeking a high-impact Christmas party without needing to book the entire venue. We host popular combined themed events on select dates, which allow smaller teams (typically tables of 10 or more) to join a larger, pre-organised party with the atmosphere of a larger event.
Themes include our famous Medieval Feast—a full dinner and drinks package with live actors and entertainment—or Boogie Nights and Dine & Dance events focused on exceptional cuisine and a great atmosphere with a DJ. This shared-party concept provides the big-event excitement, professional catering, and built-in entertainment for an easy, cost-effective, and unforgettable staff Christmas celebration.
