Taupo Accommodation
As the wedding is out of Taupo we would recommend to stay near (15mins drive) to Taupo central this will make it easier to catch the bus and for getting back to accommodation after the wedding.
There are plenty of places to stay in Taupo from five star accommodation, affordable hotels and motels, air bnb and the top 10 camp ground.
Accomodation websites:
If you need a hand finding something please let us know and we can help you out.
Transport will be provided to those who need it and will leave from Taupo at 2pm to get to the venue around 2.30pm. The pick up spots will be confirmed closer to the time. The ceremony is to begin at 3pm.
After the ceremony there will be drinks and nibbles while we get photos with everyone.
You will be seated around 6pm to start speeches and dinner, then we can party!
We have to out of the venue by midnight so buses will be leaving at 11.45pm and will drop those who took the bus back in Taupo.
We will update the times shown here closer to the date, once we have confirmed all times.
