We are delighted that you are considering Peppers Awaroa Lodge, Abel Tasman National Park for your special day.

At Peppers, we understand that every bride and groom has an individual style of wedding in mind when planning

their special day, and as such offers a variety of ceremony and reception ideas for up to 60 guests.

It's about as untouched as New Zealand gets: If you want to experience the timeless beauty of nature, witness it in

one of the best places on earth. Set in the midst of Abel Tasman National Park in the South Island of New Zealand, in

native bush high above Awaroa Bay, is Peppers Awaroa Lodge. A place so rare that it operates to the highest global

standards for eco retreats*. This is a part of the world that enriches your soul. From here you will take home

memories you will never forget.

It's eco paradise meets eco chic: Peppers Awaroa Lodge is every bit about indulging in Peppers’ high standards of

appointment and service as it is about the secluded nature of the location. Standard rooms, superior suites and family

rooms (with mezzanine level) place you in the thick of an enchanting landscape. Most have private decks and

wetland views. Peppers passion for exploring the regional food trail can be sampled in the restaurant and café. Wi-Fi,

a cosy fireplace in the library and guest lounge round out the eco chic appeal, making this the perfect retreat.

It's the finest ingredients plated to perfection: Perhaps you harbour an educated palate in search of a great food

and wine experience. Or maybe you’re interested in tasting fresh seasonal produce as close to the source as possible.

Peppers Awaroa Lodge chefs are eager to introduce you to the best regional ingredients. Sometimes this can be as

close as their own back yard. The Lodge maintains an abundant organic garden that has a major influence on the

menu. One of the highlights of the menu is its ‘five senses’ approach, incorporating sound, smell, sight and touch as

well as taste.

*Peppers Awaroa Lodge is Earth Check Benchmarked Silver Status. This is a world-wide recognised standard for Eco

Tourism and an important aspect of the way we manage and market the lodge.


A Romantic Place In The Heart Of NatureThe unique setting of Peppers Awaroa Lodge makes it ideal for weddings. The Park provides a number of spectacular

backdrops for exchanging vows and celebrations. The golden sands of Awaroa Bay and the wetlands deck are both

popular choices. Here you can celebrate your marriage in the finest tradition and style, somewhere quite rare and

special in the world, with Peppers dedicated service and passionate catering putting the icing on the cake.

Exchange vows on the golden sands of Awaroa Bay or on the private deck overlooking the wetlands, sheltered by the

privacy of the Abel Tasman National Park. The Lodge offers a total wedding destination suited for the most romantic

and intimate of celebrations.

To complement the exclusive nature of your wedding at Peppers Awaroa Lodge, we will work with you to prepare

your special day with a Peppers touch. This ensures a stunning backdrop for spectacular wedding day moments and

lasting memories.

creates the ideal environment to revitalise the soul and break away from life's distractions while soaking up

picturesque views of the wetlands and native bush.

By air: Tasman Helicopters depart from Nelson or Motueka. Enjoy a scenic flight along the coast, landing in the

Lodge’s wetland. (Also available for a Heli Luncheon charter for up to 6 people.) Sounds Air fly out of Nelson,
