Looking for land / hall / space to lease

We want to continue to run our programmes on the West / North side of Wellington City, probably somewhere between Karori and Johnsonville, so it won't be too far for our current families to travel to. This will also compliment our south coast location in Island Bay.

The location would need to be available to rent / lease during the school holidays and at least 2 school days each week during the term.
We are open to different options and would love the opportunity to develop a site. As our programmes are mostly outdoors we don't really need a hall but we do need shelter and somewhere dry to store our gear. As a minimum we need access to water and a toilet, an existing structure for shelter or permission to construct a structure and a storage shed. Grounds that have mixed terrain, some open flat grass, bush, some mature trees, would be great - a stream would be a bonus. If the area of land is small it must border a park or bush that can be freely accessed. The location must be accessible for vehicles not a long rough 4WD track.

So if you know any locations that you think would be perfect please let us know. We are willing to consider all options and an out of the box solution might just be perfect!!!!!!
