Deer Valley is a rural wedding and events venue on a working deer farm at Ararimu, near Bombay, in South Auckland. The website says the paddocks have resident deer and the grounds look out over the Hunua Ranges, and the venue takes weddings, elopements and events such as corporate and Christmas parties. It hosts six to ten weddings each November to March, and intimate elopements or celebrations are held through the year. Woolshed Lodge is a luxury bed and breakfast suite open year round, for a bridal party to get ready or for the first night together.
Couples choose from indoor and outdoor spaces, with lawns and gardens for ceremonies and a patio for drinks. Its address is Ararimu Road, Drury, and the venue is taking bookings for 2026 and 2027. Visits start with a tour booked through the website, and enquiries go through the contact form. One couple who were hosted at the venue say the owners made sure everything ran smoothly with little stress.
