The Flaxmill

Your Exclusive wedding venue on the outskirts of Oxford

The Flaxmill is a picturesque venue, the perfect place to host your wedding or next special occasion party.

With a completely unique and rare history...

The Flaxmill was originally built in the early 1940s as part of the war effort to produce linen. At the time Ireland and Holland were under attack so there was a shortage of linen. There were a total of 16 flax mills built throughout the South Island. After the completion of the war, the flax mill was no longer needed. After being decommissioned it was later used for grain and hay storage for a farm.

In 2010 Lin & Gerry Thomson converted The Flaxmill into the stunning venue that it is today. The venue can seat up to 100 guests, has a large commercial kitchen and provides the tables, chairs, plates, cutlery and glasses, so all you need is some food, beverages and your guests!

Professional Kitchen The Flaxmill contains a commercial-grade kitchen large enough to keep any Gordon Ramsay-level caterer happy. Fully stocked with all the cutlery & crockery you may need.

Cocktail Bar A boutique cocktail bar complete with glassware is available. Just bring your own beverages or talk to us and we can coordinate it for you.

Exceptional Location Located in Oxford, New Zealand. A convenient drive from the beautiful Southern Alps, multiple tourist activities and Christchurch City.
