Top Places to Propose in NZ

Unless you’re Elisabeth Taylor, you probably plan on marrying only once!  

This tends to put some pressure on the situation, but New Zealand boasts some of the most amazing scenery in the world which means choosing just one spot is the hardest decision of them all.  

Here are our top locations to pop the question and remember the moment for a lifetime. 

Queenstown

Your loved one won’t dare refuse you when her/his feet are tied together at the top of a bungy ramp!  Or if high-adrenalin proposals aren’t your thing Queenstown’s scenery will take their breath away.  There are also ample fine-dining options and the gorgeous historic town of Arrowtown close by.

Your first date

Was your first date a success or simply nerve-wracking? Is there a place somewhere only you know? Think about a time in the relationship that was a turning point for the both of you, knowing this was for keeps.

Waiheke Island

A sunset, lapping waves in a little bay and a packed picnic.  What could be more romantic?   

Russell – Bay of Islands

Russell has a romantic old-world feel surrounded by 144 islands. Captain Cook thought it was a good place to land and it’s easy to see why.  See our range of vintage rings to set the tone for this unique occasion.

Cathedral Cove

No wonder this beach was Narnia in the Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe, Cathedral Cove is nothing short of magical. 

Hokitika Gorge

Walk out into the middle of the swing bridge and pop the question above the aquamarine waters of the Hokitika Gorge.  In fact, why not present your loved one with an engagement ring to match your surroundings?  It’s not a difficult walk so this option isn’t limited to fitness fanatics.     

We hope it’s given you some locations to think about.  Why not make a weekend of it (and disguise the surprise proposal) and drink in some of New Zealand’s amazing scenery at the same time? 

Proposal location – check!  Next big decision – choosing the right ring.
