The harmonious blend of the old and new offers visitors a unique glimpse into the past, while providing the modern amenities needed for a sophisticated experience. 


The Preston Chapel seats up to 120 guests in its charming old-world style. Both the Manor and Chapel have been beautifully restored to their former glory, providing an elevated level of charm and grace.

The LEGACY lives on.

At PRESTON MANOR, we take pride in being part of over 100 years of history, which gives us that perfect old-world charm. Both Preston Manor and the Chapel have been beautifully restored to their former glory, allowing us to create historic moments and lasting memories together with you in this stunning venue.


Originally known as ‘Torrington Homestead’, built in the 1860s, Preston Manor features exquisite pine timber floors and hand-dressed walls beneath its original iron roof. In 1898, it was updated with a full shingle roof, solid cedar front doors with sidelights, along with original windows. 


Our charming private Chapel, built in 1870 and initially known as St. David’s Anglican Church from Omanama near Inglewood, was relocated to Preston in 2006, adding to the venue's rich heritage.
