RSVP
Please email kateandrobrsvp@gmail.com by January 31, 2012 to let us know if you are coming to the wedding.
It would be great it you could also let us know whether you will be joining us at the Welcome Party, and if you would like to be included for Sunday brunch.
Please advise of any dietary requirements when you RSVP, and we will do our best to accommodate.

We’re also registered at Crate and Barrel, Bloomingdales and Amazon (if you use the Amazon registry you’ll need our address as it doesn’t work as a traditional registry,...
Getting there
Rental cars.
The easiest way to get to Waiuku and Castaways is by driving. You can rent a car from the Auckland CBD, Auckland Airport or Hamilton Airport. If you’re from the US, we drive on the left… or perhaps that’s the RIGHT. You’ll figure it out.

Accommodation
There are a small number of rooms available for our guests at Castaways, but for those who don’t want to commute all the way back to Auckland (about 50 mins drive) you’ll need to find accommodation in nearby Waiuku (just a five minute drive away) or Pukekohe (about 15-20 minutes drive). We’ll provide transport between Castaways, Waiuku and Pukekohe on the day of the wedding.
