Weddings and Functions

From a small intimate event with your nearest and dearest to a celebration in grand fashion for up to 200 guests, the Park has a long tradition in making your special day a day to remember. Beautiful gardens, open spaces and country charm set the background only 30 minutes from the city. Whether you prefer a heritage building with kauri panelling or a luxurious marquee with sweeping views, several sites are available within the Park providing you with the flexibility to allow your dreams to come true. With historic buildings, flower filled gardens, tree lined walks, a golf course and an adventure playground, there are many options for all interests.

BIRTHDAYS AND FUNCTIONS

A short drive from Christchurch, the park offers lovely picnic areas, a playground and walks including the famous rhododendron garden, MTB and BMX tracks. Open 365 days a year we cater for self contained caravans and campervans amidst the beautiful park like setting. Our Heritage Buildings provide a glimpse of colonial farm life under a canopy of mature native and exotic trees, birds and nearby farm animals. You can reserve a picnic spot or hire one of our buildings for that special birthday or the work Xmas party. Why not combine the special day with a guided tour around the buildings?

Venue Hire
