Testimonials
“Staying at Bishop Julius Hall took all the hassle away from myself where everything was done for you, and then I could concentrate on my job. I would highly recommend any sports team to stay there.”
- Julia Healy Manager Marlborough under 17 Boys Softball team
“As the manager of a sports team full of young lads, the staff and facilities available to us made our stay an incredible experience. Arcady Hall took care of all our catering and were flexible with times for dinners, which took so much pressure off myself allowing me to focus on the sports side of things.
​
In all the years of travelling around the country for softball tournaments, I haven't stayed at a better place than what Ollie and the team at Arcady Hall provided. ”
- Nick Lanigan, North Harbour Softball U19 Manager
“You assisted us enormously when we had to move one of our meetings from Kaikoura post earthquake at very short notice. Again your assistance made this much easier than I anticipated. The friendly nature of your service was much appreciated. I am already recommending the Hall to others!”
