WEDDINGS / SPECIAL EVENTS
Highland Paradise, was an abandoned, ancient
mountain village retreat with stupendous sea and
valley views and of huge significant spiritual value.
It is a unique wedding venue.
TAPEKA Family Union Ceremonies (Something of value for free!)
For six centuries, inter family betrothal ceremonies were performed on our fortified mountain maraes.
Such family unions needed to be properly celebrated.
