Begin & end your wedding celebrations at the historic homestead

Tarureka Estate Homestead Wairarapa

Standing at 150 years old, the grand and historic Homestead has been renovated to ensure optimum relaxation, while still maintaining its original beauty throughout. It offers comfort and convenience combined with charm and sophistication.


When you book Tarureka Estate for your wedding, the Homestead is available to you and your guests for two nights and three days; making it the perfect package for your weekend-long wedding celebration.

The Homestead comfortably sleeps up to 18 of your guests and includes a romantic bridal suite located on the second storey, with beautiful views looking out across four acres of lush garden. 

The Homestead is centrally heated, with seven large bedrooms, open plan living and dining, a fully equipped kitchen and gorgeous wrap around verandas, for easy indoor and outdoor entertaining. The Homestead also comes with full BBQ facilities, for hassle free catering. 

There is plenty on offer to keep your guests entertained. There is a fully serviceable grass tennis court just out from the front facing veranda if you fancy a friendly match, or there are petanque and croquet sets to keep everyone regaled.

Tarureka Estate bridal suite
I stayed in the big house with all my family the night before the wedding. That was really special. Lots of space for hair and makeup on the big day and then we were able to have a nice chill get together with some of our friends and family on the Sunday.
