BUSINESS SERVICES Northridge Golf Resort T T Karen Phelps Northridge Golf Resort, a mere 30-minute drive north of Auckland, is gaining recognition as a hidden gem for corporate retreats, conferences and events, says Northridge Golf Resort director Simon Wu. Over the past three years, the resort, now under new ownership, has undergone a remarkable transformation, establishing itself as a local, family-owned, and operated business that caters to both leisure and corporate clientele. “A lot of people say it is a hidden gem when they see what we have done with the place so it’s about trying to get the word out as to what we now offer here,” says Simon. The resort offers a unique blend of a 9-hole golf course, elegant accommodation and versatile venue spaces, making it an ideal destination for businesses seeking a tranquil yet accessible setting for their corporate activities. Northridge Golf Resort offers four conference rooms, accommodating groups ranging from five to 120 individuals. The lodge, designed in a Tudor style, features a bar and restaurant area, a café with barista coffee, high-speed WiFi, modern amenities, and ample parking. “Whether planning a team-building day, product launch, or Christmas party, Northridge Golf Resort provides an engaging setting for corporate events.,” says Simon. “Its proximity to Auckland and Orewa, combined with its peaceful countryside location, creates an atmosphere that helps people focus as well as relax.” The resort provides a comprehensive package for corporate clients, including full catering and on-site activities such as frisbee golf and fling golf – activities that level the playing field and foster team building, says Simon. With 27 elegantly appointed rooms accommodation is taken care of and rooms feature modern amenities including ensuites, smart TVs, high-speed WiFi, small fridges, electric kettles and more. Some spacious rooms even include patios with views of the golf course, providing a relaxing and enjoyable stay. In addition to conferences, Northridge Golf Resort offers an all-in-one events venue for celebrations, birthdays and family gatherings. The on-site accommodation, which accommodates up to 42 guests, allows groups to stay overnight without concerns about transportation, says Simon. The resort’s café, The Eagle Café, serves a variety of hot breakfasts and lunch dishes inspired by Asian, Italian, and French cuisine. Free WiFi and plenty of parking make it convenient for guests. The business in its current form started three years ago when the current owners took over an existing facility, revamped and re-launched it providing a hugely enhanced service. Starting with a golf course, accommodation was soon added due to demand. Simon says it has the flavour of a proudly local family owned and operated business. With its unique offerings, convenient location, and commitment to excellence, Northridge Golf Resort shines as a premier destination for corporate events and retreats, providing a perfect blend of business and leisure in Auckland’s beautiful countryside.
