This award-winning restaurant and boutique hotel offers breathtaking views over Oneroa Bay, blending seaside sophistication with a timeless, beachy chic vibe.

Flexible Reception and Dining Spaces to Suit Your Celebration
The Oyster Inn offers versatile spaces that can be tailored to your wedding size and style. You can book the entire venue exclusively, ensuring a private and seamless experience for you and your guests.
- Main Dining Room: Perfect for larger receptions, this space accommodates up to 90 guests. It features marine blue floors, classic bentwood cane chairs, and tongue-and-groove paneling that evoke a relaxed coastal feel. Guests can also enjoy dining on the veranda, soaking in the fresh sea breeze.
- The Pearl Room: Ideal for smaller gatherings like rehearsal dinners or intimate receptions, this stylish private dining room seats up to 32 guests or holds 45 for a standing cocktail event. It also includes a private terrace with stunning views, adding a special touch to your celebration.
Wedding Ceremonies with a Relaxed, Beachside Feel
While The Oyster Inn doesn’t have a dedicated outdoor ceremony space, you can hold your ceremony indoors within the reception area. Many couples choose to say their vows on the golden sands of Oneroa Beach just below the inn, then celebrate upstairs with their reception. The venue embraces a laid-back vibe, even welcoming a barefoot dress code to keep things comfortable and authentic.
Exceptional Cuisine and Boutique Accommodation
Food is at the heart of a wedding at The Oyster Inn. Menus are crafted by renowned chef and owner Josh Emett, focusing on coastal-inspired classics and fresh local seafood like Te Matuku oysters. The kitchen stays open all day, giving you flexibility to design your perfect dining experience. For you and your closest guests, the inn offers three beautifully appointed boutique rooms, some with private verandas and bay views. If your wedding party is larger, the team can recommend nearby accommodations to suit your needs.
