Honoured to host the celebrations for Samoa’s 64th Independence Day alongside the Samoan High Commission here in Pōneke.

The night brought together culture, community, and connection, featuring performances from Victoria University Pasifika dancers, the most reka canapés, a beautifully curated grazing table, and meaningful conversations shared throughout the venue.

A special occasion celebrating the rich heritage, resilience, and spirit of Samoa, while strengthening the connections that continue to bring our communities together.

Fa’afetai for allowing us to be part of such an important celebration.

🤝🏾 Whakawhanaungatanga in action.

Great hospitality starts with great relationships. Even better when they’re long-standing and built on collaboration.

We recently spent some time with the team at Rydges Wellington, building connections, sharing ideas, discussing our mutual client base, and exploring ways we can create even better experiences while bringing more business into Pōneke.

Pōneke is built on relationships, and when good people come together, great things happen.

This is only the beginning.
