Nestled in the heart of Ohau at 14 Muhunoa West Road, our community hall has been a cherished gathering place for locals and visitors alike. Whether you're planning a wedding, birthday celebration, community meeting, or special event, Ohau Hall offers a versatile, welcoming space that brings people together.
Managed by the Ohau Community Hall Society, we're proud to serve our vibrant rural community with a venue that combines classic charm with modern amenities. From intimate gatherings to lively celebrations, our hall adapts to your needs while maintaining the warm, friendly atmosphere that makes every event feel special.
We celebrated our 125 Jubilee on the weekend of 1-2 November 2025.
