Stepping into The Monkey House Theatre in Whitianga feels like discovering a creatively reimagined space full of character and community spirit. Housed on Coghill Street, this former industrial building—once a fish factory—has been transformed into a quirky, intimate venue with raised seating, comfy nooks, and eccentric touches like colourful murals and a playful “monkey” motif throughout. The main performance space strikes a perfect balance between raw and refined: warm, domestic lighting, exposed surfaces, and a relaxed vibe that makes every gig—be it music, theatre, cabaret or comedy—feel personal and alive. The venue has been carefully updated to support modern sound and stage needs while keeping its offbeat charm intact. Whether you’re here for open mic nights, touring bands, or eclectic performance art, The Monkey House offers more than a show—it delivers an experience that’s as much about connection and atmosphere as it is about the performance itself.
