Rose & Smith at Tauherenikau
Rose & Smith is a unique, boutique Wedding & Events venue in the idyllic Wairarapa at The Tauherenikau Racecourse. Located just an hour from Wellington’s CBD and 10 minutes from Greytown, they are surrounded by lush native foliage, charming birdsong and English heritage trees, radiating vintage charm, relaxation and timeless elegance.
Rose & Smith was named in honour of “Rose & Smith Builders” who built the Tea House in 1923. Almost a century later, Paula Bevege, with the help of the Wairarapa Racing Club, restored the Tea House and Rose & Smith opened in 2018 as the Wairarapa’s premier Wedding & Events venue.
