WHERE FLOWERS MEET FOREVER
Mangawhai Retreat is fast becoming one of the region's most sought-after wedding destinations – and the magic starts in the garden.
Set on a former avocado orchard just outside Mangawhai, Myfanwy Gurr has created something truly special – a single property that seamlessly brings together two complementary ventures, each making the other more extraordinary.
Orchard Lane Florals is Myfanwy's cut flower farm and floral design studio, where she specialises in wedding and event floral design. Growing her blooms on-site and picking them fresh for every occasion, Myfanwy brings an intimate, garden-to-celebration approach that sets her work apart.
Neighbouring the farm, Mangawhai Retreat is the property's secluded tropical oasis. An elegant three-bedroom home surrounded by lush gardens, vibrant blooms, and expansive lawns, complete with a 12-metre heated pool and hot tub, offers an intimate and luxurious setting for weddings, elopements, and private celebrations of all kinds.
Together, the two operate in natural harmony; the flowers grown steps from the venue finding their way into every corner of each celebration held there.
For couples seeking something beautifully streamlined, Myfanwy is also part of Runaway Lovers Elopements – a thoughtfully curated collaboration between a group of passionate local creatives. Bringing together photography, florals, hair and makeup, and a personalised ceremony, the boutique wedding packages are designed to take care of every detail, leaving couples free to simply enjoy the moment.
