About Midway Community Hub

Midway Community Hub is Gisborne’s oceanfront gathering place — a modern venue and community centre designed to host everything from corporate retreats and weddings to cultural events and workshops.

Our Vision to Unite Communities at Gisborne’s Oceanfront Hub

Midway Community Hub was built to bring people together. Located right on Midway Beach, it’s more than just a place to book a room — it’s a flexible, inclusive space for community connection, creativity, and collaboration.

Whether you’re planning a private celebration or a public fundraiser, our goal is to make it easy for you to host something meaningful in a beautiful, functional environment.
