Top 5 Places to Propose In Auckland

Where you propose can be just as important as your engagement ring. This guide will walk you through the best places to propose in Auckland.

1. Plume Luxury Lodge

Sidestep the cliches. Cornwall Park is out. Matakana is in. And there is no better place than Plume Luxury Lodge. Set in Matakana, and close to Sculptureum, Plume Villas offers incredible accommodation for a weekend proposal. With the Matakana markets a stones throw away, Omaha and Brick Bay a short drive, what better way to nail a summer proposal?

2. The Glasshouse, Morningside

Prefer a weeknight proposal? The Glasshouse in Morningside is the perfect place to get engaged. Rain or shine, this venue will be stunning.

The Glasshouse has a transparent roof which means you will also get lots of natural light and there are lots of amazing backdrops from which you can get photos in front of.

The Glasshouse also has a large wooden door, lots of natural flora and incredible lighting which is perfect for photography.

Bookings are essential, and make sure to ask for the photoshoot location.

Sort dinner out by heading next door to Morningside Tavern.

3. Auckland Domain Wintergardens

Super underrated and better than Bastion Point in my opinion for a proposal. It’s quiet, serene and the photos you will get from it will be stunning.

The proposal date could include a walk up to the museum, and celebrations towards Parnell for cocktails at 46 & York or Crown Range Lounge; or if you or your partner have a sweet tooth, Chocolate Boutique.

4. Westhaven Marina

Silo Park on a clear evening after a nice dinner is too obvious. It's cute, but not special. But what is special is a walk along the newly renovated West Haven Marina. Soft lighting all the way up to the harbour bridge makes this walk intimate and wholesome.

Looking back, you will also get a perfect view of the city.

5. Gulf Harbour

If you are looking for something serene, and a leaf out of idyllic Europe, Gulf Harbour may just be the spot for you. About an hour out from central Auckland, it is well worth the drive with its quiet restaurants, manicured lawns and boats. It screams old money and quiet luxury. And isn’t that exactly what a proposal should be?
