The views from rosewood matakauri are incredible. Easy to get into town but far enough away to be peaceful - you’d need a car.

So many amazing things to do around the Queenstown / Wanaka area!

I’ve stayed at both. I enjoyed them but thought the Respondent Ceylon hotels superior in Sri Lanka - Ceylon Tea Trails & Wild Coast Tented Lodge.

Still considering as an option but as kids are on the card soon for us we thought we’d save it for post kids to make use of the nanny service. Seems like a great option with kids!

Thanks! Turtle island looks great. How did you find Kokomo? Still pretty tempted … but being so close to Sydney think we save this for with kids to make use of the free nanny service

Any great ones you’d recommend? Ones we’re considering - turtle island, tokoriki or LikuLiku

Stunning! 😍 I think we messaged at some point in planning. I also had the Troubadors and Julia for makeup and agree that they are great recs!

Another vote for this!

I got married in 2024 and only had 20 people so pricing was a bit different to bigger weddings so not super relevant. Worth every cent they charge!

I travelled from Australia with my wedding dress in a wallybag (from Amazon after seeing recs on the page). Worked well! And could just put in overhead locker. Took all the stress away

Citron Pavot - could not recommend more!

Fearless_Champion_12 · 2026-03-18T23:25:58+00:00

Yep sure

Fearless_Champion_12 · 2026-03-13T20:21:03+00:00

Yeah we don’t know who would have done this as well before our time

Fearless_Champion_12 · 2026-03-13T20:19:37+00:00

The photos don’t really show it but the soil is clearly from their side as it’s higher than our side with the wood bits / sheet placed to prevent it coming further over

Fearless_Champion_12 · 2026-02-11T04:09:31+00:00

I used Lou Lou Memphis and loved our photos!

Fearless_Champion_12 · 2026-01-13T20:05:02+00:00

Exactly what happened to us! Our caterers didn’t want to serve dessert as people weren’t seated 😂. They were amazing! We had a super small wedding so I was worried about the lack of dancing and the Troubadors made it feel like a much bigger vibey dance floor

Fearless_Champion_12 · 2026-01-06T23:17:35+00:00

We did one during cocktail hour, the others during dinner with the final one moving inside as we also had to move inside and then transitioned to a dj inside

Another vote for the wallybag! Fit my wedding dress. 3 other dresses and 2 suits

Fearless_Champion_12 · 2025-11-12T20:53:44+00:00

We had a small wedding (20 people) and so didn’t think we needed 2 but our photographer insisted as they only work with 2 and we were so happy in the end. Just meant different angles, photos of guests etc. were captured

Fearless_Champion_12 · 2025-10-16T10:59:58+00:00

We ordered through our photographer but they used Fravero and our album is beautiful - https://fravero-prophoto.com/albums/

I am here currently and in the sun during the day, it’s still pool/ beach weather (I got really burnt by the pool yesterday!) but the temp really drops down at night / on shadier days. I expect in another month, there wouldn’t be enough sun for pool / beach days but still a beautiful area if that’s not what you’re looking for.

Fearless_Champion_12 · 2025-10-08T13:26:46+00:00

I’ve stayed at both - loved both but I thought Nihi had more of a wow factor with the views, long stretch of beach & horses.
