Situated just an hour North of Auckland, Salt Gypsy Garden is located on the banks of Omaha River. Just minutes from Matakana Village and white sands of Omaha Beach.

This private 4.5 acre property is ideal for the couple who wants to tailor their own wedding. Totally secluded on flat park-like grounds that is ideal for a Bohemian, relaxed style of wedding with a variety of settings for the ceremony. A wedding surrounded by nature, the perfect backdrop for your special day.

At high tide the river laps at the jetty with expansive views across the water to rolling countryside. In the 1960’s this property was a Pig Farm, with the remaining silo and barn adding to its rustic charm. The peace and tranquillity is only interrupted by the abundant bird life. There are two orchards, sub-tropical and coastal gardens full of vibrant colour and texture.

Guests can mix and mingle on the lawns with drinks and canapés while the wedding party have unlimited photo opportunities whether it’s under the Pohutakawa lined riverbank or in a glade of mature pines.

Nearby to Salt Gypsy Garden there are several fabulous reception venues catering for all of your requirements.
