If you are keen to get married in a beautiful garden setting in front of the ocean, how about heading just 30 minutes north of Auckland city to Tindalls Bay. Glenys is the owner of Verdelais and she’s also a marriage celebrant so can assist with the ceremony. This is a lovely bed and breakfast and they take a lot of pride in providing the honeymoon suite to go with your special wedding day. Even if you are not getting married or booking in for your honeymoon, consider a stay at this comfortable, plush accommodation for some pampered time out. Orewa Beach is very close as is Shakespeare Regional Park for swimming and beach combing.
