Heritage & Glamour
The gorgeous gardens & grounds provide beautiful backgrounds for your photographer.
The fabulous lovingly restored turn of the century villa invokes a sense of New Zealand pastoral heritage. Gorgeous bay windows look out to the potager garden and French doors make a dramatic entrance to the stunning courtyard pavilion.
Our large croquet lawn is the perfect location for a garden wedding ceremony. Your guests can enjoy pre dinner drinks & canapés on the lawn or terrace, enjoying the opportunity to socialise & relax before the reception.
With a Helipad on-site we can whisk you both up to the mountains also to get those full mountain & lake views (& some time alone to enjoy the moment of being newly married).
A Welcome Reception
Seating as small as 30 guests, or up to 250 guests, the Pavilion is the perfect space to sit back & relax to enjoy the reception proceedings.
The indoor/outdoor Pavilion features a tented roof & festoon lights. The awning wall opens up to the mountains beyond, while in winter we light the large stone fireplace.
Long tables, square tables, single tables of 6 – 8 guests – we will create any space you desire for you to dine along with your guests.
Mountains & Views

From our wood panelled whiskey den to the iconic Kawarau River views you will have lots of choices to suit the season & your own individual style.
