Venues, addresses, maps
The main venue itself:
Park Bowling Club, Kilbirnie
598-600 Evans Bay Parade
The Evans Bay Parade address is its official one, and those driving (depending where you're coming from) may prefer to come down that way. For myself I've always thought it was on Kilbirnie Crescent, and certainly that's where the bus will drop public transport takers. I can't get a number, obviously, but it's between the Wellington Regional Aquatic Centre (no 63) and the Ruth Gottlieb Library (no 101).
There's a fair amount of parking there at the park for drivers.
Walk in through the main front doors, but then instead of walking through into the bar, which will presumably be full of old folks in their bowling gear, hang left and go upstairs. Ideally there will be some sort of sign, *g*.
From Courtenay Place, the bus you want is the Number 2 (Miramar). Get out at the Park bus stop which serves the Aquatic Centre, the Library etc.

Brentwood Hotel, Kilbirnie
16-20 Kemp Street
It's super easy to get from one to the other; it is literally across the road and down a wee cul-de-sac.

The Oaks is 71-81 Cuba Mall, and upstairs -- look out for a grotty staircase and a sign. Olive is 170, and requires you to venture through the mall and on up to Cuba St proper.
