Your wedding should be a deeply personal celebration, not just an event.

Tucked into the rugged beauty of West Auckland's Bethells Beach, our elopements are for couples who want to mark their commitment intimately — with wild surf, golden light and long sunsets as the backdrop.

Everything you need for a relaxed, romantic escape is included: a marriage celebrant available to book, full ceremony setup by our team, free parking on the lawn, and a peaceful overnight stay for two in one of our cottages. Simple, elegant, and almost no planning for the couple — a stress-free start to married life.
