Eloping at Rototawai is where modern love meets understated luxury.
Hidden in the rolling countryside of Kahutara, Wairarapa, this private estate is all about escaping the noise and doing your wedding your way.
You’ll cruise down an 800m oak-lined driveway that feels straight out of a movie, leading you to a beautiful landscape of gardens and towering trees that have seen centuries of love stories.
With the added bonus of a beautiful art gallery within the Homestead as an inclement weather option to say your vows to each other, Rototawai is the dream location for the couple who values natural beauty, effortless luxury and an intimate celebration in the Wairarapa.
"Sam really made an effort to get to know us as a couple,
our story, what made us, us and what we wanted to remember about our day.
Our photos are perfect! We couldn’t rate her highly enough!"
