There are 14 ponds, covered with waterlilies from November to April and a bush walk to a seven-tiered cascading waterfall. Many native species such as kauri, rimu, rewarewa and cabbage trees can be found in this garden full of rippling streams, fountains, sculptures and so much more. Garden of Distinction Award winner.
