Set on five acres of pristine, mature lawns in the beautiful Pahoia area just 15 minutes northwest of central Tauranga, this boutique estate delivers a highly sophisticated and magical modern-rustic aesthetic. The property is defined by its name—enveloped by towering black walnut trees, structured woodlands, and a lush kiwifruit orchard. It offers couples a uniquely romantic, secret-garden ambiance that effortlessly marries raw natural beauty with contemporary architecture, providing an editorial-level canvas that requires very little extra styling.

For the ceremony, the estate offers an unparalleled variety of distinct, enchanted backdrops, allowing couples to exchange vows directly beneath the majestic black walnut canopy, inside a tranquil bamboo forest, or at their unique, fairytale-style "Tree Church." For wet-weather protection, the venue boasts a breathtaking, standalone custom glasshouse structure that acts as a light-filled architectural masterpiece rather than a compromise.

Following the ceremony, guests can enjoy a few bites to eat outside the barn with the large space with seating and lawn space suited for lawn games for guests. The gorgeous Glasshouse is the popular option for wedding receptions, while the large black barns serves for later in the evening for the dance floor.

Operating with a stress-free flexibility model, Black Walnut gives couples the creative freedom to select their own independent catering teams and customise their culinary setup, all supported by a comprehensive commercial fridge, freezer space, and dedicated staging area. With the option of using a large modern house onsite for accommodation, the Black Walnut is really a gem within Tauranga with no other venue offering such variety and style for elegant weddings.
