Locations - Te Pounamu & Te Kotahitanga

Your actual wedding ceremony will take place in front of 'Te Pounamu' (the valued treasure) cabin.

Te Pounamu cabin is where the bride and groom will spend their first and second night of marital bliss.

You will be married in front of Te Pounamu, on the front deck, or even in the ocean side bi-folding windows should you wish to. 

But hey, at the end of the day, we want to accommodate you and your wishes, so if we can help fulfil them - we will.

The wedding reception then heads across paddock to your tipi set up from our partners Element Tipi's, here, you will be fully cleared to dance the night away among the backdrop of thunderous ocean waves crashing, and warm outdoor fires keeping you and your crew warm and relaxed.

The magnificent backdrop of the Kaikōura Seaward Mountain Range is truly breath taking for you and your guests.

For information regarding bookings for weddings and who and how we work them, please download our Kiwa Eco Escapes Wedding Offerings Presentation here.

A small non-refundable deposit of only $2,000 reserves your wedding day booking, and your reserve day.

In November 2024, we hope to have completed 'Te Kotahitanga' (togetherness or unity) - our very own rustic barn reception venue where you will be fully cleared to dance the night away among the backdrop of thunderous ocean waves crashing, and warm outdoor fires keeping you and your crew warm and relaxed.

We will keep you all posted on our progress.

FUSK Kai

Kai (food)

It keeps your guests happy and energetic, and believe it or not, apart from the bride and her dress, it's the most talked about part of the wedding day! So best make it yummy whilst keeping it both authentically "kiwi" and simple to organise.

We suggest using our awesome mates at FUSH or the team at Food by Fire to ensure high quality, tasty, and filling food is ready and on-hand for your big day - leave the clean up to us. 

Both the FUSH whānau, and team Food by Fire bring in the kai for your wedding, and bring with them a taste of kiwiana by having the ability to pretty much park up anywhere you like in accordance with the magnificent backdrop of the mountains and sea.

Leaving you to it

If it's just the venue you're after, go for it guys, we are happy to simply provide the ceremony venue if that's all you need. You can decide to add on anything else you want including the newly weds accommodation for two nights and things like porta-loos if that's what is needed.

For the ceremony venue only, without any add-ons, and for a period of 3 hours it's a simple investment of only 3k. 

If there's anything more, or less you need, just view our Kiwa Eco Escapes Wedding Offerings Presentation here, and get in touch with us using the button below and we'd be happy to help you out best we can!
