Makoura Lodge provides the ideal wedding venue to hold your wedding reception in the beautiful native country gardens and stunning scenery that is second to none.


GlassesLounge / Restaurant Area

The lounge/restaurant area, looking out over beautiful native country gardens, has comfortable seating for up to 100 guests plus, but a more formal area can be designed to accommodate less numbers and create a unique ambiance in which to share your special wedding reception with family & friends.

 

The McIntyre Room

The McIntyre Room is a completely private area located upstairs from the Main Lodge and will accommodate up to 15 diners.

With great views from the balcony overlooking the native trees The McIntyre Room is ideal for your small intimate wedding party.

It is also utilised as a preparation room for The Bridal Party who are using either the Main Lodge or The Gardens to get married in.

With a lovely wide gentle stairway into the lodge this is a great way for the Bride to make a spectacular entry.

 

The GroundsThe Grounds

The grounds are spacious with well established native plantings that offer a splendid country garden backdrop for your special day.

The spacious lawns allow for a variety of options for outdoor ceremonies.

The grounds also offer stunning photographic opportunities together with the historic buildings surrounding the lodge.

"We just wanted to say thank you all for making our daughter’s wedding such a memorable one. You were all so friendly and willing to go along with all our ‘demanding requests’ With the weather like it was, your efforts to change at the last minute from garden and sunshine to the big comforting fire and cosy indoors were to be commended; nothing seemed too much trouble.

The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Your staff are to be congratulated.”
