Wander through your award-winning coastal gardens, proudly recognised as a Garden of Significance by the New Zealand Gardens Trust (5-star rated). Enjoy the the peace of these park-like grounds and your majestic 900 year old pohutukawa tree. You’ll also discover a well interpreted and significant Māori Pā site that offers insight into the area’s earlier history and connection to local iwi. Why not bring a picnic to share and make a day of it?
