Situated in the rolling countryside of Whitford just 30 minutes southeast of Auckland’s CBD, this boutique estate offers a relaxed, organic vineyard aesthetic with a distinct Tuscan-inspired charm. The property beautifully repurposes its historic heritage, centering around a beautifully restored 100-year-old stable that flows effortlessly into a contemporary, sun-drenched reception space. Surrounded by rows of bio-dynamically grown vines, a serene private lake, and wide-open pastoral vistas, it delivers an incredibly warm, peaceful, and unpretentious countryside atmosphere that feels completely secluded from the city.

For the ceremony, couples are offered fantastic versatility with various locations across the grounds, including exchanging vows right against the vines at the tree-lined "Vineside" lawn, or down by the waterfront at "The Lake" ceremony spot. For wet-weather peace of mind, "La Serra"—a beautifully crafted, Italian-inspired glasshouse and timber building—provides a sunlit, architectural indoor ceremony option that ensures your backup plan never feels like a compromise.

Following the ceremony, guests can relax with lawn games and canapés on the expansive outdoor decks, before transitioning into the main dining room where raw macrocarpa timber, solid oak tables, and massive windows frame the vineyard like a living painting.

For couple photos, the extensive property offers multiple gorgeous backdrops for photos so there is no need to go offsite. The gardens offer a European-styled look to your photos, along with the vineyards which look best at sunset.

Operating as a full-service estate, all catering is managed in-house by an expert culinary team, providing customisable menus that range from interactive family-style sharing platters to premium multi-course plated dinners paired with their own organic wines. The property also features a dedicated on-site Bridal Room for morning preparations that doubles as a honeymoon suite, alongside three compact rustic cabins for guest accommodation, making it an entirely seamless, all-inclusive package for couples and photographers alike.
