Kadin & Taylor | February 2026

From the moment we arrived, everything felt seamless and stress‑free. Ella was absolutely amazing to work with - so organised, calm, and genuinely supportive throughout the entire process. She made everything feel easy and ensured the day ran perfectly from start to finish. We would absolutely recommend Parehua to anyone looking for a wedding venue. The setting is beautiful, the team is exceptional, and the whole experience was everything we hoped for and more.

Conference | 2025

We hosted a multi-day conference, with a range of dinners, off-site outings, and tailored meeting requirements. From the initial planning stages through to the final day, the team at Parehua delivered an exceptional experience. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and nothing was ever too much trouble.Their professionalism, flexibility, and genuine warmth created an environment that was both seamless and welcoming, allowing our group to focus, connect, and truly enjoy the experience.

Absolutely Perfect Wedding Venue – Beyond Our Expectations! The staff were incredible so friendly, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making our day special. The venue itself is breathtaking. The ceremony location by the lake was blissfully stunning a picture-perfect backdrop that felt like something out of a dream. From start to finish, the experience was flawless.

A great experience as always. Seamless organization from the first contact to checking out. This is a great place to conference, stay and eat. The accommodation and conference facility is always presented to the highest standard. The restaurant always provides excellent food during our stay. Highly recommend for any event!

Kaileen & Daniel | March 2025

When we first arrived at Parehua, we knew it would be the perfect wedding venue, surrounded by stunning vineyards, rolling hills, and offering beautiful onsite accommodation. The staff at Parehua, especially the Wedding coordinator Ella and her team, took exceptional care of us throughout the entire process. Our friends and family also thoroughly enjoyed their stays, making the most of the tennis court and heated pool. After the wedding, Parehua was the ideal place to relax, where we dined at the York Bistro and enjoyed stargazing from our own private spa pool. We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful wedding!
