Silverstream Retreat is a conference, wedding and accommodation venue at 3 Reynolds Bach Drive in Stokes Valley, Lower Hutt. It sits in native bush with views over the Hutt Valley, about 25 minutes from Wellington City and seven minutes from the Lower Hutt CBD. The site started out as a hospital, used by the US Navy from August 1942 to April 1944, when about 20,000 patients were treated. Its renovated buildings are in a modern rustic style, with five flexible venues and an auditorium that seats up to 260 for theatre-style conferences or 230 for banquets.
The venue offers two wedding spaces, indoor and outdoor, for up to 250 guests. Catering is done in-house, with canapés, buffets and plated dinners, and the executive chef can design a menu. Accommodation includes four-star motels, two-bedroom apartments, twin share rooms and group accommodation. The Grasslands veranda overlooks the Hutt River, the bush and the western hills, and the venue has a full bar service.
