Ceremony and Reception Spaces
Whether you’re dreaming of an outdoor garden ceremony or an elegant indoor reception, Dunedin Leisure Lodge has flexible spaces to suit your style and guest list.
- Beautiful Lawns and Gardens: Enjoy exclusive use of lush lawns and established gardens, including a charming garden bar. These outdoor spaces are ideal for ceremonies and wedding photos, offering privacy and a stunning natural backdrop. If the weather changes, the team can quickly move your ceremony indoors, so you never have to worry about the forecast.
- The McGavin Room: Perfect for larger celebrations, the McGavin Room accommodates up to 100 guests for a cocktail-style event or 70 guests for a banquet. Located on the first floor, it features natural light, a balcony overlooking the gardens, and direct access to outdoor spaces. You can decorate the room to match your wedding theme, and there’s no room hire charge for this space.
- The Oast House: For intimate weddings, The Oast House is a unique garden venue with a striking bluestone feature wall and vaulted ceiling. It seats up to 30 guests for a banquet or 50 for a cocktail-style gathering. A cozy gas fire adds warmth and atmosphere, making it a popular choice for both ceremonies and smaller receptions.

The venue offers a range of delicious, flexible wedding menus that can be tailored to your tastes and budget. Dunedin Leisure Lodge is fully licensed, so BYO isn’t available, but they offer special pricing and options for table wine to suit your celebration.
