We visited the place on a Sunday, getting there about 11am.....and didn't leave until just before closing having walked through all three gardens and dined in the restaurant for lunch. The artworks, gardens, galleries and creative visions of the owners is truely amazing. Capping it off was meeting one of the owners, Anthony, at one of the bird aviaries where he chatted to us (and the birds). It adds to the day when you meet the creators and see the enjoyment they get from sharing their vision. To top it off, the dining was exquisite. The food was beautifully presented with complex flavours. Finally, a thanks to Glenn for helping to make it a special day. Everyone should visit this place if in the Auckland region.

Enjoyed the unpretentious and personal feel of the galleries and gardens. Really lovely and knowledgeable lady in the foyer. Stunning setting, incredible restaurant highly recommend. Thanks for sharing with us!
