Jon and Rob's Summer Soiree
Transportation

Bus from Omaha

There will be a bus from Omaha going to the venue with a pick-up in Matakana. If you would like a seat on the bus please let us know in advance via the RSVP form.

It will also be taking guests back at 12am.

Pick-up at 2 locations in Omaha at 2pm:
1st Stop 37 Paraoa Cres
2nd stop 68 Omaha Dr

There will also be pick-ups at Matakana Motel at about 2.20pm.

It will then continue to run people up the hill, see parking details below.

If you get stuck or can't find the bus, call the driver on 021 624 707 the company is called MaiRide.

Uber/Taxi

Uber is not available in the area. Although Warkworth Taxi's do operate in the area. Probably best to pre-book your ride with them.
Warkworth Taxis: 09 425 0000

Parking Info

The road directly outside the property is narrow and not suitable for street parking. Instead please park on the wide section of Tamahunga Drive, as you turn off Matakana Road.

You can walk to the property BUT there's a steep hill and we'd advise against it, especially if it's hot. Instead there will be a bus to ferry you up the hill. There will be a bus-stop sign and details. Last pick-up will be 2.50pm.

Click on the map to the right for more details.

Dress Code

It's potentially going to be hot, so be comfortable. The dress code is smart summer attire. As a guide; summer dresses for the ladies, and for the gents, chinos, or smart shorts and shirt. Birkenstocks are marginally acceptable :)

Travel Notes

Bad Traffic

Traffic can sometimes be bad heading into Matakana on a Saturday.

Please allow enough time to arrive on time as the ceremony will start at 3pm on the dot. Arrive a bit early and have a drink.

Photos

We've arranged a photographer to capture the day and we ask that during the ceremony no photos are taken by guests. Enjoy the moment, it's going to be very special.

However, for the rest of the day, take as many photos as you like. It's a beautiful location, great views, with great company and we're sure they'll be lots of laughs.

If you do get any goodies, please share them with us, we'd love to see them. We've set-up a Dropbox that will be available for 7 days after the wedding.

FAQs

Gifting

Your presence is our present.... or something cheesy like that.

Seriously we're very grateful that you're able to attend and certainly don't expect a gift. However if you would like to offer a card, a few wise words, or an envelope, there will be a wishing well for you to leave these in.

Bar

The bar will be well stocked with Wine and Beer, including some bubbles. If you only drink spirits feel free to bring a bottle. Ask the staff to look after it for you when you arrive.

Finish Time

We expect to wrap-up at midnight.
