Te Mata House
Te Mata House is a property steeped in history, now beautifully restored to create a luxury accommodation and wedding venue experience in the heart of Hawke’s Bay’s food and wine country.
Set on stunning Paul Bangay-designed grounds, Te Mata House guests have an opportunity to observe the incredible detail that goes into this renowned Australian landscape designer’s work. You’ll spot Sally Holmes and Pierre de Ronsard roses alongside white wisteria and hydrangeas, a parterre with spring tulips, a citrus garden, vegetable patches, verdant lawns, water features and exquisite stonework.
Te Mata House is available for a limited number of very special weddings each year, working exclusively with one of New Zealand’s most highly regarded wedding planners – One Fine Day Weddings – to create an unforgettable occasion. The landscaped grounds and hertitage homestead provide many picturesque locations for the wedding ceremony, and a magnificent marquee helps create a delightful ambience for the reception. One Fine Day will work closely with couples to design a stunning wedding like no other.
With luxury accommodation on-site for the wedding party’s use, The Cottage is the perfect place to prepare, and to honeymoon. The Cottage is a purpose-built, architecturally-designed guesthouse delivering an oasis of calm and light. Soaring high-pitched ceilings, beautiful fixtures and a carefully curated selection of art make this a unique retreat.

‘Our wedding day at Te Mata House was the most divine day, that it felt like a dream. The venue is picturesque, with the backdrop of the beautiful house and the most stunning gardens over looking the vines of a vineyard.
It felt like we could have been in the European country side.
Te Mata House was the first and only venue we looked at. We fell in love with it instantly and knew it was the perfect spot for our day.’ - Emma & Michael
‘No other place had given us the feeling of tranquility and style quite like Te Mata House. It took our breath away as soon as we arrived on the property. Te Mata House encapsulates all that Hawke’s Bay has to offer, giving you the feeling of being immersed within the landscape.
If the history of the property isn't enough of a draw card, the stunning grounds certainly will be. Our wedding guests continue to comment on the property and the picturesque setting of which Te Mata House sits.
The property is also extremely close to Havelock North which made it very convenient for all of our out of town guests.
Our wedding was everything we wanted it to be and more! Jacqui, the Te Mata House team, One Fine Day Weddings and other vendors did so much for us and made our day extremely special.’ - Holly & Jason
