Community Venue for Hire
The Oratia Settlers’ Hall is a heritage building built by the original settlers of Oratia as a community hall which opened in 1931. It was later extended by the community in 1989. It is the larger of the two community halls and has timber floors and high ceilings and a good indoor/outdoor flow onto a deck.
A great option for weddings, birthday parties, and other family and community events.
The maximum capacity is 150 people (and depends on layout).
Note: It is possible to book both the Oratia Settlers Hall and the Small Hall next door, which has access onto the Oratia Domain. Options include using the Small Hall or Domain for a wedding ceremony and the Settlers Hall for the reception.
