Amazing venue and setting.

Amazing venue and setting, we loved every minute of our special day. Accommodation is comfortable and grounds well maintained, hard to find any comparable setting - super unique.

Heartfelt thanks from both of us for the most magical weekend celebrating our "Happily Ever After". Nestled in the native bush at HUs Boutique Venue & Accommodation, our intimate ceremony with close family and friends was an absolute dream. You went above and beyond as our host, and we’re so grateful.  Check out our video reel on the HŪS website — it perfectly shows off the amazing venue and how well it accommodates a winter wedding. All our guests raved about the incredible location, magical setting, and fabulous all-round experience. We highly recommend HŪS to anyone looking for a stunning, intimate venue in Auckland.

I recently officiated a wedding at HUs at it was absolutely gorgeous! It was a beautiful day, the grounds were stunning, the venue flows seamlessly - indoor and out and the ceremony down on the water was very special. Countless photo opportunities and a very relaxed, lush and spacious setting for such a special occasion.
