The Venue

​In 1905, Kingsdown Chapel served as a local church for several decades until the Tyree family bought it in the 1970s.

​They added a stunning two-story manor to the property, complete with a three-story turret and a spacious reception hall.

​In 2021, the property was purchased by Greg and Mel Coles, who have transformed Kingsdown Manor into a beautiful boutique and historic wedding venue.
​​With the Chapel Elopement Package, you won't have to worry if the weather doesn't play ball, as you can use the chapel for your ceremony and photos.

Have Your Honey Moon at Kingsdown Manor! 
Air B &B accomodation is available on site for up to three to four couples  (Subject to availabilty. )

Only 5 minutes drive south of Timaru
