Two by two

The animals all went marching two by two has taken on a completely new meaning with the new Noah's Ark in the Gethsemane Gardens in Revelation Drive, Christchurch becoming a haven for guests of the humankind. Couples marching up to this Ark can be married within its confines for an undeniably memorable wedding experience.

Built as a replica to the historic Noah's Ark, painstaking attention to detail has resulted in rave reviews throughout Christchurch. In keeping with the authenticity, timber features extensively on the interior coated in Resene Colorwood woodstain, while the outside features timber finished in Resene Waterborne Woodsman woodstain. Internal concrete block walls are finished in Resene Thixalon 5 complemented by application of Resene X-200 weathertight membrane and Resene Thixalon 5 with chop strand matting to form durable decking.

Perched high up on Red Cliffs overlooking the East Coast of Canterbury this Ark is well positioned to enjoy the views and provide panoramic photographic settings without fear of getting wet feet.
