A Recent Review
The New Zealand Farm Environment Trust recently held Farming for the Future, a celebration of sustainability at the Lake House, Ashburton. We hosted 70+ farmers, growers and agri-business professionals for a cocktail style function.
It was important that we had a venue that allowed us to bring farmers and growers together in an informal, relaxed manner; the Lake House surpassed our expectations and feedback from our attendees supported this.
We were delighted with the quality of food and service provided, and the ambience created by the venue allowed us to entertain our guests with ease.
