🌿 A Place to Gather

Just 15 minutes from Ōhope Beach, Waingarara Valley is a tucked-away gem — the kind of venue people talk about long after the last guest leaves.

Whether you're planning a wedding, hosting a team retreat, or gathering whānau for a milestone celebration, Waingarara offers something special: a handcrafted log cabin, spacious decks, native bush, and the quiet charm of the countryside.

We’ve seen laughter around firepits, vows shared under the trees, and teams reconnecting away from the buzz of town.

With over 25 years’ experience in floristry, Karen brings a thoughtful touch to every event. Add in flexible indoor-outdoor flow, creekside photo spots, and plenty of room to move — and you’ve got the makings of a beautiful, relaxed day.
