It's no secret that Carrington College is renowned for outstanding academic success and a charming heritage rich atmosphere located in a peaceful woodland setting.
A better-kept secret is that Carrington offers a versatile venue for hosting conferencing, events and functions – from small scale working groups and retreats to larger scale events such as weddings, reunions and medium-sized conferencing.
Carrington features a superb array of facilities that can be commissioned and composed to suit your particular needs.
These include the Carrington Dining Hall, which provides a versatile space suitable for a principle conference session with seminar/ theatre configurations or for reception events with the potential for seated dining of up to 200 guests. This space is adjoined and supported by a commercial kitchen, a sheltered courtyard area and several adjacent self contained media suites and study rooms, which can be readily arranged as 'breakout' spaces.
Other facilities include the elegant Linton Lounge, which can host stylish cocktails and dinner events for up to 40 people amidst appointments such as piano, fine art objects and an adjacent drawing room with a pool table. Outdoor areas offer a sedate environment with a full- sized tennis court, impressive heritage rated trees and pleasant landscaped seating in an established native bush garden setting.
Carrington operates through the academic year as a University of Otago residential college and maintains high quality accommodation facilities for upwards of 240 people. These facilities include dormitory, studio and villa style configurations, which can be organised to provide a range of accommodation options for conferencing and events clients.
For all of these attractive features, Carrington's greatest strength must be a unified support and service team. The Carrington staff share a wealth of collective and a passion for high quality operations and standard of service, which ensures great outcomes for clients and guests alike. You'll find clean and tidy surrounds, delicious, fresh and nourishing food prepared to suit specific requirements, responsive but unobtrusive service and a dedicated key point of contact with clear information and resources and answers…
Your event can take place in a unique location representing a dynamic blend of prestige, heritage, modern facilities, supportive service, great value and bush-clad seclusion all within arms reach of a vibrant University Campus and lively City Centre.
