The serene location of Mt Vernon Lodge is nestled in the hills overlooking Akaroa Harbour. It provides the perfect escape for city dwellers needing to cut loose from the stresses of Monday to Friday, to celebrate something special.
A 90-minute drive from Christchurch city, owners Amanda and David are set to host whatever event or stay you have in mind; be it a cosy weekend escape for two, a wedding for 130 guests, or a conference with an edge. The lodge can seamlessly integrate your desires into the perfect stay or magical day.
“We are very hands-on, and take a lot of pride in our venue,” says David. “We offer something different, this is where Mt Vernon is fantastic for hosting events where you want a real point of difference.”
Between meetings, client hosting or wedding speeches, guests can reminisce and relax while sitting beside the sunken fire pit, or Amanda and David can arrange activities like the lawn bowls and cooking school in Akaroa, or hosting a MasterChef-style challenge in the lodge kitchen.
The venue is available all year round, and its popularity is reflected in bookings already being taken for February 2028, while clients marvel at the truly bespoke event management.
“We price venue hire based on the needs of the client, our rates are dependent on what you require and what is involved,” David says. Avoid disappointment, and book your escape to Mt Vernon Lodge now on 03 304 7180.
