you couldn’t ask for a more private setting for your wedding ceremony. there is limited public access to the beach (accessible only via the sea, or via a 30 minute clamber around the rocks at low tide), and the property itself has automated security gates and cameras, ideal when privacy and security are paramount.

two unrestricted helipads on the property mean that the bridal party or VIP guests can arrive in style. and with te arai, mangawhai, langs beach and waipu nearby there are plenty of accommodation options for friends and family - and plenty to explore in the unlikely event you feel inclined to leave the property during your stay!

as a wedding venue andersons cove, just 90 minutes north of auckland, truly has it all: absolute beach frontage, romantic cottage gardens, gentle pastoral scenes and a spectacular clifftop outlook.

the flat lawn for the marquee is mere steps from a 700m stretch of white-golden sand - but that is just the beginning. the 40 hectare (100 acre) property features clifftop outlooks, romantic cottage gardens, romantic stream and even a small waterfall. being a hobby farm, there’s a handful of gentle highland cattle and sheep in the paddocks, plus a brace of white muscovy ducks and a pair of swans gliding around in a picture-perfect pond.

two luxurious accommodation options complete the offering: clifftops lodge – a tented 2 bedroom, 2 ensuite lodge with dramatic, elevated views over bream bay, and the potting shed, a romantic one-bedroom cottage nestled in the tranquility of flower gardens and native bush. both have featured on TVNZ’s lap of luxury program and have been finished and furnished to the highest of standards.
