Events That Feel Like an Occasion
By the vines, beside the lake – Abel Estate
Abel Estate is designed for events that deserve space, atmosphere and exclusivity, with planning help the venue’s famous for. There’s comfortable space for 100 guests on the 2.5ha property.
From large-scale celebrations to structured team experiences, our lakeside venue in Kumeu offers exclusive use, flexible catering and a setting that feels curated rather than convenient. We specialise in events that bring people together — not traditional meeting room hire.

The venue was beautiful, and the ladies (who hosted us) were very friendly and helpful. Always had a smile on their face and made us all feel very welcome.
