βWe recently celebrated our sonβs 6th birthday at Brookby Barn and had a fantastic experience. It is such a unique venue for a childrenβs birthday. The setting is beautiful and feels like you have escaped into the countryside, despite being so close to Auckland. The kids absolutely loved being outdoors, exploring the farm and interacting with the animals. The farm animal experience was a real highlight and made the party feel completely different from the usual indoor birthday venues. A major highlight for the children was visiting the chicken coup and collecting eggs Monya and Elaine were amazing hosts. They were warm, welcoming and incredibly helpful throughout, and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable for us as parents. You could tell they genuinely wanted everyone to have a great time. The barn itself has loads of character, with plenty of space for both children and adults. We also really appreciated the flexibility of the venue and being able to make the celebration our own. Most importantly, the kids had an amazing time. It was exactly the relaxed, memorable farm experience we were hoping for. We would absolutely recommend Brookby Barn to anyone considering a childrenβs birthday or family celebration. A genuinely special place, made even better by wonderful hosts. We are very glad we chose it.β

βWe hosted our son's first birthday at Brookby Barn and it was the perfect venue! Monya and Vanessa made sure the day ran smoothly and helped to coordinate all the setup and the activities. They had the venue all setup for us based on our seating plan. Vanessa helped to setup all the chaffing dishes for the food and other things around the venue based on her experience. She was a superstar! Monya and her husband got us outdoor umbrellas and even setup a gazebo as our one broke at the venue. The kids loved the venue especially the outdoor playground, the animal petting and feeding. Such a great place for a birthday party. Would highly recommend.β
