Mt Vernon

Best decision of our lives. We were married here last year in September. This venue captures the best that New Zealand has to offer, from the chorus of native birds to the stunning backdrop of the ocean. Complete with its special accommodation, the wedding lawn and reception area - everything is meticulously laid out and provided for. Thank you, David and Amanda, for your hospitality and the immense support you guys provided not only during our wedding but in the planning stages beforehand - we always speak of you two when we share our experience! We are unreservedly grateful to you both for allowing us to visit a couple of times to obtain measurements for our reception setup in the lead-up to our wedding day.

This was the perfect Venue for our wedding! Amanda & David take such great care of you from the booking process all the way to check out. Our caterer was late & David helped to organize them without us even knowing, these guys know weddings! They have a huge amount equipment / supplies onsite. It saves a lot of organizing. They really have thought of everything. Having our family & bridal party all staying on site created such a magical weekend. The grounds are gorgeous & the rooms are all clean & comfortable. Thanks again to Amanda & David

This was a beautiful hotel with amazing view of the bay. The owner was very nice and happy to share info about the area and activities. There was no AC and the heating was a little lackluster, but we managed. I'd return here if i ever visit Akaroa again.
