Dunedin Leisure Lodge

Wedding Spaces and Atmosphere

Set within two acres of beautifully established gardens, Dunedin Leisure Lodge offers a peaceful and private setting perfect for your wedding day. If you’re dreaming of a relaxed celebration that flows effortlessly, this garden hotel venue delivers just that—with the added bonus of an all-weather location. The lush lawns and surrounding greenery create stunning backdrops for your ceremony and wedding photos.

What makes this venue truly special is its blend of natural beauty and historic charm. The original Oast House, featuring a distinctive Bluestone wall and vaulted ceiling, provides a warm and inviting atmosphere—ideal for couples planning an intimate gathering with close family and friends.

Ceremony and Reception Options

Dunedin Leisure Lodge gives you the flexibility to choose between outdoor and indoor spaces for your ceremony and reception. Say “I do” on the gorgeous lawns, then treat your guests to drinks in the exclusive garden bar area. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, the experienced team will seamlessly move your ceremony indoors without missing a beat.

For your reception, you can select from two unique spaces:

• The Oast House: Perfect for intimate weddings, this historic building comfortably seats up to 30 guests for a banquet-style dinner or 50 for a cocktail reception. Its charming architectural details and cozy gas fire create a warm, inviting vibe. It’s also available as an indoor ceremony space.
• The McGavin Room: Ideal for larger celebrations, this bright first-floor room features natural light and a balcony overlooking the gardens. It accommodates up to 70 guests for a banquet or 100 for a cocktail-style event, and can be styled to match your personal wedding theme.

Catering and Accommodation

The venue offers a variety of flexible wedding menus that can be tailored to your tastes and budget. While bringing your own alcohol isn’t allowed, special arrangements can be made for table wine to complement your meal.

One of the biggest perks? On-site accommodation for you and your guests. Wedding packages include a complimentary night’s stay and breakfast for the newlyweds, plus discounted rates for your guests—making it easy and comfortable for everyone to celebrate together.
