Conference Venue A meeting place like no other River Valley Ventures Ltd, 266 Mangahoata Road, Pukeokahu, RD 2, Taihape 4792 New Zealand E: thelodge@rivervalley.co.nz www.rivervalley.co.nz
Your Next Conference Venue Finding the perfect venue for a Corporate Getaway, Team Building and Staff Bonding session, or timeout for some creative planning sessions is never easy. Do you go for somewhere close to home, somewhere where everybody goes, or do you look for a venue where the surroundings might just give you that creative edge? A place where no cell phone reception means that you focus on the task in hand, or where it s easy to stay in touch all the time? A venue where you can walk out of the room, down the hall and be back in downtown, or where you walk out the door and straight into nature s own setting? A venue where you and your business will be valued. We can provide the surroundings for YOU to do your best work. That s our promise. So are we close to a major city? Not unless you call Taihape major, or 2 hours drive to Palmerston North close. Do we have cell phone reception? Do we have broadband internet, wireless, projectors, whiteboards and all that stuff? Do we have comfy rooms? Do we have more budget but also comfortable rooms? Do we have great food? And refreshments Are there activities to do outside of meeting time? Is River Valley main stream (Pun intended)? No Yes Yes Yes My word yes Yes Most definitely not! So that s it. Comfy, adventurous, sort of remote, all the things you really need, plus some you don t. Want to talk more? Phone one of our Adventure Consultants at the Lodge Reception and let s go from there. Look forward to hearing from you. Yours Faithfully Brian Megaw Managing Director www.rivervalley.co.nz 2
