Gracious Mona Vale Homestead is one of the few grand old homes of Christchurch (circa 1890) to have its elegant grounds still intact - in this case 5 hectares of English-style gardens, with landscaped lawns on the banks of the tranquil Avon River. Located just 5 minutes' drive from the city centre with ample car parking, this is an ideal venue for a range of events from day meetings, conference dinners and corporate functions, to family birthdays, anniversary celebrations and lavish weddings. With both the historic Mona Vale Homestead and picturesque Iris Lawn available - it is the perfect location for your next event!
