Hillbrook Estate & Farm

Your Dream Wedding at a Private Coastal Estate

Hillbrook Estate & Farm offers a stunning, luxury coastal setting for couples seeking both intimacy and grandeur on their wedding day. Nestled on 50 hectares above a secluded white-sand beach on New Zealand’s Coromandel Peninsula, this working farm provides breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Whether you’re planning a cozy celebration with up to 30 guests or a larger marquee event, the estate’s exclusive approach means only a few big weddings happen here each year—so you get a truly personal and attentive experience.

Flexible Spaces Tailored to Your Wedding Vision

The estate features a variety of beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces to create a wedding day that feels uniquely yours. Imagine exchanging vows on manicured lawns or by the beach, then celebrating under a marquee designed just for your reception. The main house offers an elegant setting for smaller gatherings, while multiple ceremony spots each bring their own special atmosphere. One standout feature is private access to the pristine beach—perfect for unforgettable photos or a quiet moment after your ceremony. The estate team can even arrange transport for your bridal party to and from the beach, making your day flow effortlessly.

Comfortable On-Site Accommodation for You and Your Loved Ones

Hillbrook Estate comfortably accommodates up to 20 guests on-site, centered around the grand Scottish-style main homestead. The 7-bedroom main house and two self-contained executive suites called “The Stables” provide plenty of space for both partners to prepare separately and relax before the big moment.
