The most beautiful wedding venue & accommodation in south Canterbury!!

We will forever be grateful for Mel, Greg & Whitney. They were amazing hosts, easy to communicate with, very knowledgeable & just super down to earth lovely people.

My parents & grandparents stayed there for 4 nights. Myself & one of my bridesmaids stayed the night before the wedding in the bridal suite. Mel & Greg have done such a beautiful job of all the rooms, very modern & homely with comfortable beds, plush pillows & lovely linen. The rooms had fantastic lighting for photos of us girls getting ready the morning of the wedding.
Mel & Whitney put on a delicious spread of breakfast for us all the morning of the wedding with fresh fruits, muesli, croissants, toast & eggs plus tea & coffee. Which was also offered to my parents & grandparents for the other mornings they were there.

The reception hall was the perfect size with a good size dance floor & plenty of room for a head table & roomy guest tables.
They provided the beautiful wooden tables & cross back chairs which fitted perfectly with our rust & ivory decor.
Whitney had made up & sent through the ideal table setting which was then set up for us before we got there on the Friday so we could just get straight into decorating.

Mel, Greg & Whitney set up all our chairs for the ceremony & did all the final touches the morning of while we relaxed & got ready for the day.
Whitney was super helpful & had all our nibbles & drinks ready for our guests after the ceremony & was always around if we needed help. She is very knowledgeable with everything wedding related & it was lovely working with her.
The next day everything was packed down & put in a pile for us to easily pack into the car thanks to them.

We could not have done it without you Mel, Greg & Whitney! You went over & beyond for us & We are over the moon with how perfect the venue was, highly recommend staying here or hiring the venue for an event.
