Your Dream Wedding in a Historic Garden Setting
Imagine saying “I do” surrounded by the timeless charm of an 1875 Victorian villa and the stunning beauty of nationally recognised gardens.

The grounds are officially recognised as a 'Garden of Significance' by the NZ Gardens Trust, providing a peaceful and picture-perfect backdrop for weddings both intimate and grand.
Flexible Ceremony and Reception Spaces Tailored to You
Whether you picture your ceremony outdoors amid lush greenery or prefer an indoor option, Tairoa Lodge has you covered.
