Such a treasure tucked quietly away in a busy city. Thoroughly enjoyed taking some time out to enjoy nature in beautiful surroundings
Christchurch
A beautiful hidden garden away from the hustle and bustle and on the side of Mt Eden. Many different flowers and trees to admire and enjoy with various paths to explore. Walk up to the lookouts for panoramic views over the city.
Papamoa
Very pretty gardens set at the bottom of Mount Eden, with a lovely cafe and good shop.
London
Getting here couldn’t be simpler. The beckoning calm of the front gate is just a 15 minute walk from the hustle and bustle of Newmarket’s shopping area. We are a 12 minute walk up from the Manukau Road with many bus stops. We are open from Tuesday – Sunday 9am to 4pm.
Other bus routes that are close to us, starting from the ferry terminal are the 321, and 295.
Plan your route with Auckland Transport.
We are a few minutes drive from the Gillies Avenue exit on the Southern Motorway and we have our own free parking.
Although we are on Mt Eden it is not possible to access Mt Maungawhau from the Garden.
The central area is mostly flat for easy walking and wheelchair access. Elsewhere, particularly on the edge of the old quarry, some paths are steep and rocky and suitable footwear should be worn.
Umbrellas and wheelchairs are available to borrow from Reception.
There are many benches to rest upon and gazebos and shelters to sit in further up the hill.
Our lovely café offers a selection of hot and cold drinks, slices and wholesome lunches all made on the premises.
