Booking Overview
Our facility has 4 'sheets' of ice for you to choose to curl on. Each is named after a family who has contributed greatly to curling and, therefore, the creation of the only indoor curling rink in the Southern Hemisphere.
Simply select a rink below to continue with your booking. Should the day and/or time you require not be available simply return to this page and select another sheet. If you have more than 8 people in your group and require more than one sheet you will be able to do this within the booking process.
If you have any problems please don't hesitate to contact us.
