Nestled within 2.5 acres of beautifully manicured country gardens just 30 minutes northwest of Auckland’s CBD, this long-standing West Auckland estate delivers a warm, inviting, and highly practical rustic-chic aesthetic. Tucked into the heart of the region's historic grape-growing country, the property balances open, sun-drenched valley lawns with the comforting structure of established native trees, colourful seasonal cherry blossoms, and sweeping rural vistas.

For the ceremony, couples can choose from three distinct, picture-perfect outdoor locations across the grounds, most notably a charming garden pergola framed by large, leafy trees and rustic wooden wine barrels, alongside a beautiful, secluded forest clearing backdrop. If the Auckland weather turns, the venue transitions fluidly to a truly spectacular indoor ceremony space within the main building—featuring soaring vaulted Macrocarpa timber ceilings, a traditional outdoor bell tower, and a grand, wood-burning brick fireplace that infuses the room with a cozy, romantic winter-lodge ambiance. Following the vows, guests can mingle for canapés and lawn games in a sprawling outdoor courtyard, which features an elegant, covered al-fresco dining extension to keep the indoor-outdoor flow alive well into the evening.

For couple photos, you can make use of the gardens onsite for some stunning photos. Otherwise, you can jump in the car and make a quick 5 minute drive to Riverhead Forest to capture some enchanting woodland photos with the forest foliage.

The venue is exceptionally well-scaled for mid-to-large celebrations, comfortably seating up to 220 guests for a formal banquet dinner or hosting up to 250 people for a high-energy, standing cocktail-style reception. Operating as a full-service estate with a dedicated on-site planner, all catering is managed by an expert in-house culinary team celebrated for incredibly flavourful, crowd-pleasing menus that span traditional plated multi-course meals, casual family-style table banquets, and customised menus tailored to specific cultural or dietary requirements.
