LINDIS LODGE 

Combine a helicopter wedding adventure with an exclusive stay at The Lindis Lodge — an unforgettable celebration set deep in New Zealand’s high-country wilderness in the Aruhiri Valley.

.

Begin your day with a helicopter flight to your choice of four to six spectacular mountain locations for an intimate ceremony and breathtaking wedding photography. From there, fly directly into the remote Ahuriri Valley, landing at The Lindis Lodge, where your celebration continues in complete seclusion. Enjoy an exceptional dining experience, luxury accommodation, and the chance to slow down and savour the moment — whether for one night or a multi-day stay.

The Lindis Lodge offers a truly refined alpine retreat, seamlessly blending modern architecture with the raw beauty of the surrounding alpine landscape. Designed for privacy, comfort, and connection to nature, the lodge provides a peaceful, immersive setting that feels worlds away from everyday life while offering world-class hospitality.

For couples seeking total intimacy, the lodge can be enjoyed as a secluded escape just for the two of you.

 

If you’re dreaming of celebrating with family and friends, The Lindis Lodge also offers the option to host a small group, creating a meaningful and elegant way to share your wedding experience while maintaining a sense of exclusivity and calm. You can choose to have your ceremony high in the mountains with your guests, or keep it just the two of you and reunite later at the lodge for a relaxed celebration, dining, and time together. Every experience is fully tailored, allowing you to celebrate in a way that feels authentic to you — surrounded by the dramatic tussock landscapes, river valleys, and endless skies of the Ahuriri Valley.

The Lindis Lodge operates year-round, with seasonal changes bringing their own beauty to the landscape. Simply let us know the time of year you’re dreaming of, and we’ll work closely with you to align helicopter access, lodge availability, and your wedding vision — creating a seamless, once-in-a-lifetime alpine wedding experience.
