We would love to host you and your whānau on your special day, our couples are married in front of our rustic cabin - 'Te Pounamu' - "the valued treasure".
The wedding ceremony itself takes place in front of Te Pounamu, with the Kaikōura Seaward Ranges (Kaitarau, Uwerau, Manakau, Pūrahonui, and Te Ao Whēkere) as your ceremony, and photography backdrop.
As your whānau sit awaiting the arrival of the beautiful bride, they will turn to watch her exit from her wedding vehicle, with the backdrop then set as Te Moananui-ā-Kiwa (The Pacific Ocean), with the Kaikōura stretch of this coast known as Te Tai o Marokura.
There can also be a few sheep and kunekune pigs thrown in the backdrop for good measure.
Following the wedding ceremony, all guests will then move to the giant tipi's by Element Tipis where your drinks and food will be ready for you just in time to cool you off before dancing the night away.
We understand the importance of your big day, and will go to every effort to ensure it's a day to remember for all of the right reasons.
If you're looking for a change of scenery for your next birthday or social event, we would love to provide a stunning, and inspiring environment for you and your crew.
Something out of the 'norm' can be quite refreshing, and enables attendees to plan activities outside of the actual function itself.
Why not think about heading out on an awesome peninsula walk, a dive, or surf as a group of mates, or try something different, like hunting or a chopper flight over the mountain range the day after the social function.
So get in touch if this sounds like you, and think about treating yourself for once!
It’s important to us that our manuhiri understand the impact of their choice to stay with us - from a socially and environmental stand point.
Please make good decisions when it comes to the products you buy, and if they are recyclable, please ensure they are cleaned and dropped into the correct bin - we will then take them to the recycling centre ourselves.
If you wish to leave a little more behind to clothe Papatūānuku (the earth mother), and help te tai ao - the natural environment, you are more than welcome to plant a native tree (natives only) on the property.
