Kotare Estate review
Kotare Estate is a true gem of a wedding venue in the Havelock North Hills. From every angle, the views are stunning - you'll be able to take in the stunning Napier Hill, Gisborne, and Te Mata Peak all in one glance.
The Estate itself is a breathtaking 1920's classic and has everything you could possibly want to make your wedding truly special. From multiple indoor and outdoor entertaining areas to a farmhouse-style kitchen, you'll be able to create the vision of your dreams. What's more, there are four bedrooms, including a luxurious en-suite double for the happy couple to enjoy.
And when it comes to the gardens, you won't be disappointed! There are expansive grounds with orchards and established trees, a hot tub, pétanque court, pool table and barbecue area - it really does have everything!
If you want a wedding venue that is packed with character and will give your guests an experience they won't forget, then Kotare Estate has to be at the top of the list. It really is an idyllic and beautiful estate, and the perfect place to tie the knot!
