Events venue with the wow factor
“Camdeboo Hill Station is a little off the beaten track, but so worth the journey!” say Directors of NZ Luxe, Penny Thorne Beech and Chrissie Dawkins about their new property. A wedding, corporate or individual occasion events venue that has to be seen to truly be appreciated and will be sure to wow even the harshest of critics.
On his arrival in this area Captain Cook commented: “We had no sooner come to an [anchor] than we caught between 90 and 100 Breams, [a fish so-called] this occasioned my giving this place the name of Bream Bay.” Waipu itself was later settled by Scottish immigrants led all the way from Nova Scotia by the Reverend Norman McLeod. Waipu has captivated explorers for hundreds of years.
As you approach the junction heading north, instead of turning right into Waipu township, a short scenic drive through rolling hills and native bush will lead you to your destination, Camdeboo Hill Station. Once through the front gate, you will be greeted by commanding views, a collaboration of native bush, mountain peaks and ocean; giving your arrival a genuine ‘’wow!’’ moment.
The property is named after the famous 14,500 hectare Camdeboo National Park and Wildlife Reserve in South Africa. Fittingly, the Khoi word, Camdeboo, means ‘green valley’. Hill stations have long been a place for recuperation and relaxation, with their history dating back to colonial times, and that is the intent for Camdeboo Hill Station.
The main guest house sits proudly as the overseer of this 31-hectare property. You really do feel you are on top of the world. The contemporary barn-style homestead boasts six large suites, the décor of each one taking you to a different place the owners have come to love during their travels. And the “Beekeepers Cottage” is a charming space where a bride and groom can enjoy their own little haven.
One of the most important aspects of any special occasion is a pictorial record of the event. Camdeboo Hill Station offers an Instagram-worthy backdrop including a panoramic vista of Bream Bay. Its unique setting is just waiting to be captured by any worthy photographer.
When Penny and Chrissie were given the opportunity to promote this special place, it was love at first sight. NZ Luxe have recently expanded their valet and yacht charter business to both the Northland and Auckland Regions and can now offer bespoke land excursion packages, luxury accommodation and social event venues.
Both directors have family ties to the Northland area and are excited about this property’s potential to host quality events, whether the goal is high end luxury or boho chic. They will soon be hosting an open day to showcase this venue, to allow all industry vendors to discover its beauty for themselves.
It is the perfect canvas for weddings, corporate or individual occasion events and can host up to 32 guests. NZ Luxe are flexible and open minded in their pursuit of each client’s vision, and a dedicated coordinator is also available to build the perfect day from the ground up.
