A historic homestead, old church and gardens at 379 Oruawharo Road near Takapau, two kilometres off State Highway 2 in Central Hawke's Bay. The homestead was built in 1879 from native totara and matai, and St Vincent's Church sits on the property. The website describes a weddings venue for an almost limitless range of occasions, including corporate functions, family parties, baby showers, anniversaries and music events. Interest groups and clubs can book tailored days, and catering is available for private functions. Some events are ticketed, including the Confessions bistro nights. On selected days the owners introduce visitors to the history of the home and grounds. The website says visitors' support helps fund the restoration of the property.
