At Distinction Te Anau Hotel and Villas we have a venue to suit.
We offer a variety of reception venue options from intimate tables for two, to a grand reception. Choose from our Turnbull Room or MacKinnon Room for a larger affair, or for the more intimate function our MacKinnon Private Room.
For weddings of 80 or more guests we have a selection of Distinction Wedding Reception Packages which include the room hire charge, bridal suite and catering.
