Functions / Retreats
Equipped with wifi and private tables, The Watervale Hotel Guesthouse is an ideal space for workshops, retreats and small functions for up to 12 inside or 16 outside.
We can tailor a retreat that includes a farm tour, chef’s table dining experience and Chef prepared meals in the Guesthouse.
It is great to use the Hotel space, but also useful to ‘retreat’ into your own space for private discussions and de-brief.
Conferences / Workshops
Having a variety of spaces and environments and experiences allows conference coordinators to keep things fresh and stimulating.
We can utilise the shearing shed at Penobscot Farm or spaces at Quelltaler for larger groups.
We can even incorporate visits to local wineries, vineyards, or utilise other spaces for external catering.
Let us tailor a programme that works for you.
“We had our work Christmas Lunch in the Hell Hole Jail – what an awesome place! Comfortably sat 18 of us, with full table service. Numerous plates of food for entrée and main placed along the table to share meant we didn’t go hungry and got to experience different flavours using local produce from Penobscot Farm and other local suppliers, the food was so fresh and delicious. We had the choice of a dessert or cheese platter – again, no complaints. Loved the fact we had the area to ourselves and could stand outside on the terrace and look down over the beer garden area (with our own toilet too!). Warrick spent the time to explain the history of the hotel and the Hell Hole (don’t be fooled by the name, it’s certainly not a Hell Hole!) and the waiting staff were lovely. There were plenty of comments made of “lets come back next year”…. Thanks for a fantastic day! Do yourselves a favour and book in a long lunch in the Hell Hole, you won’t be disappointed 😊” Dayna Bache, MGA
