Group & Incentive Activities

Terrace Downs Resort - New Zealand's ultimate one-stop conference, team building, incentive and leisure destination!  

Terrace Downs features a wide selection of resort-owned and operated activities and with their skilled on-site events team can tailor-make an exciting itinerary to meet the specific requirements of any group. On-site team activities range from clay pigeon shooting, archery, jet boating and golf to spa and beauty treatments. Within the immediate area there are numerous walking tracks, authentic High Country stations providing farm tours and terrain ideal for hunting, fishing, scenic helicopter flights or 4WD tours.

Gala dinners can be easily arranged in the grand river-stone and timber Clubhouse with menu options ranging from barbeque or buffet-style to three-course set and tailored degustation menus. The luxuriously appointed Avoca Room with stunning views provides a memorable venue which can be themed and configured as required. Alternatively, for variety throughout a mutli-day programme, "off-site" themed dinners in interesting local venues such as woolsheds can be arranged. Or, enjoy the breath-taking views from another angle with a marquee raised on-site for your group.
