Creating lasting memories: Mt Vernon Lodge
In the rolling hills overlooking Akaroa, Mt Vernon Lodge offers a stunning backdrop and unique experience for your next event or getaway.
The lodge’s charm lies in its tranquil countryside setting and the personal touch that owners David and Amanda Kinnaird have cultivated. With spacious grounds and serene water views, Mt Vernon provides the perfect setting for both work and play. “People wake up to a stunning view,” David notes. “Some go for a quick jog up and down the hills, while others enjoy yoga on the deck at sunrise.”
“We can host an elopement of half a dozen people or a wedding of up to 130,” says David. When not hosting weddings, the lodge often transforms into a conference centre during the week, accommodating groups ranging from small teams to larger gatherings of up to 100 people.
The venue offers various on-site games and can arrange local activities. The homemade catering is a particular point of pride. “Guests often say the food is made with love,” David shares.
Mt Vernon is ideal for corporate retreats, family reunions, and milestone celebrations. As David puts it, “If these walls could talk, I’m sure there’d be hundreds of stories.” Come and add your story to the rich tapestry of memories at Mt Vernon Lodge.
