With sweeping views across Lake Wakatipu and up to the towering Remarkable Mountain Range, Tussock Point is possibly one of the most breath-taking event or wedding venues in all of the Southern Lakes region.

Make the site come alive with tents or a marquee to ensure you’re covered, rain or shine. Or, keep it easy and leave the site empty so that you and your guests can simply enjoy the million-dollar views with no distraction.
