South Canterbury holds many extraordinary churches - small and large, in all denominations, and with beautiful grounds and wonderful vistas. Most have their own individual character and features, such as gorgeous stained glass windows or stonework and wooden beams. Alternatively you can have your wedding service in our colourful rose garden, looking onto the sweeping countryside and mountains in the distance. Celebrants, ministers or priests are happy to discuss your requirements for the day. The church above is the non-denominational Church of the good Shepherd, approx. 1 hour from our luxury accommodation. Most local churches are 5 to 20 minutes drive from Kavanagh House.
