Kauri is a cosy and private retreat tucked away on the quieter side of the venue, accessible through a dedicated hallway behind privacy screens. It's designed as a comfortable space for VIPs, speakers, and performers to prepare and unwind away from the main event. The room is adorned with Aboriginal artwork, gifted to Te Kōhao Health by friends of the organisation, adding warmth and cultural richness to the space. Kauri also works well as an interview room, a green room, or an intimate training space for smaller groups.

The room's seclusion makes it ideal for moments that call for focus or privacy, whether that's a final run-through before taking the stage, a quiet conversation, or simply a place to decompress between engagements. Its smaller, comfortable footprint, paired with its thoughtful artwork, means it never feels sterile or overly formal, striking the balance between professional and personal.
