Poverty Bay Golf Club

Poverty Bay Golf Club plays over the Awapuni Links on Lytton Road in Gisborne, and the clubhouse lounge doubles as a wedding and function space. The draw is the outlook: big picture windows that look across the greens, good for a reception that runs into the evening as the sun drops over the fairways. The lounge seats up to 200 depending on how you lay it out. There is an in-house kitchen, and couples can also bring an external caterer to suit the style of the day. It is a straightforward, affordable option close to town for couples who want an easy indoor reception with a green outlook and experienced staff on hand.
