Eloping is great for couples who value private and stress-free celebrations of their commitment to each other. They want to dedicate time and experience to each other. They value nothing more than an intimate, smooth-sailing elopement that authentically mirrors their relationship.

Couple holding hands, the lady wears an engagement ring.

At Te Karaka Station & Lodge, we understand your needs, wants and dreams, and we are here to make the process as straightforward and hassle-free as possible:

Venue and Service

Te Karaka Station & Lodge is just under 2hrs drive from Auckland Center, tucked away in Rural Waikato. Modern and luxurious farm stay architecture design, cozy and tasteful interior design and furnishing, and clever indoor and outdoor flow ensure you a unique elopement ceremony and a stay-cation experience.

When you choose to have your elopement with Te Karaka Station & Lodge, we will prepare and decorate a signing table ahead of time, and book a local celebrant at your choice of time and date to officiate your commitment in marriage to each other.

We look after everything to the last detail.

We can recommend our trusted local florists to you if you would like a bit of extra personal touch for your intimate day. In addition, we can help you book experienced photographers that we have been working with to come onsite and capture the precious moments. Our lodge managers are happy to be your witnesses if needed.

If you want to bring a few family and friends to celebrate with you, talk to us about our different offerings including exclusive use.

Accommodation and dinner

With only 10 guest rooms (9 Deluxe Suites and 1 Master Suite perfect for an elopement evening), you can enjoy the exclusivity, close proximity to nature and animals, and have a quintessential Kiwi Farm as the backdrop of your experience.
