Your Wedding at Zealong Tea Estate
Say I Do
at Zealong
A wedding setting unlike any other — surrounded by 48 hectares of New Zealand's only commercial tea estate.
Our Wedding Spaces
Choose from three breathtaking ceremony settings and two elegant reception venues, each offering its own distinct character and views across the estate.
Ceremony Spaces
The Camellia Lounge & Piano Bar
Perched on the top floor of the Vista, the Camellia Lounge offers sweeping views of the Waikato countryside in an elegant and versatile setting. The private deck opens onto an unobstructed view of the entire estate — ideal for hosting both bridal groups on the morning of the wedding, pre-ceremony preparation, or an elevated cocktail hour in the adjoining Piano Bar.
