Atherton Halau & Bowman Halau Wa’a

General Event Space | Maximum Capacity: 180

One of our most popular spaces, Atherton Halau is designed in the style of an ancient Hawaiian ventilated halau, or open-air long house. It is a versatile venue built to take advantage of the ?Olauniu winds that circulate through this unique indoor/outdoor space. It has a welcoming grass area in front that is large enough to accommodate a tent space, and its back doors open onto a lanai that overlooks a private garden. Audiovisual equipment allows presentations for larger groups. Atherton Halau provides the perfect setting to celebrate with family and friends or business associates. The neighboring Bowman Halau Wa‘a can be rented along with Atherton Halau to provide additional event space.

This traditional A-framed building with a high-peaked ceiling was originally built to shelter the Hawai?iloa, the voyaging canoe that sailed alongside Hokule?a. With a moveable 16 x 10-foot stage that lends itself to entertainment opportunities, the covered outdoor venue can be transformed for parties, weddings, or meetings. It can also be combined with the neighboring Atherton Halau for additional space.
