Mona Vale Homestead

Garden setting, made for gathering This is one of the most pictuesque gardens for wedding photography.

This beautiful historic venue reopened in December 2016 after sustaining considerable damage in the February 2011 earthquake and being closed for some years. Christchurch City Council undertook a two-year, $3.2m rebuild and strengthening project so the delightful Mona Vale Homestead could once again welcome the public for events and dining. The gracious Victorian building is once more resplendent in her heritage best, operating again as a wedding, special occasions and meeting venue plus day-time café. The 5.5 hectares of garden park remain one of Christchurch's best loved wedding locations, while the Mona Vale Iris Lawn is ideal for ceremonies with a marquee set for the reception. Backdrops of the Avon River, bridges, established trees, rolling lawns and flower beds provide beautiful romantic settings. Gardens and landscaped lawns gently rolling down to the Avon River feature significant plantings of large exotic or Northern Hemisphere trees, a Rose garden and 100-year-old Fernery as well as herbaceous perennials and beds of annuals. A marquee on Iris Lawn provides an option for company picnics and christmas functions.

There’s something rather special about the Iris Lawn after dark.

A glowing marquee tucked among the gardens, soft light against the night, and a little bit of Mona Vale magic in the mix. ✨

Some places feel like they belong in a novel.

A little ivy creeping over old brick. Gables that have watched generations come and go. Gardens that change with the seasons, but somehow always feel enchanted.

Mona Vale is a little grand, a little curious, and very good at making an entrance.

Come see what all the fuss is about. ✨
