We are currently closed for the winter - reopening 1 Oct 2021
Welcome - The gardens are open to groups only (minimum of 10 adults) from 1 Oct 2021
​Spring, Summer and Autumn are all good times to visit Kahikatea Gardens. After the winter siesta, the spring bulbs appear followed closely by kowhai, camellia, rhododendron and azalea.
By November the garden is a riot of colour with the roses making an appearance. Summer means hydrangeas, dahlias and lilies become a feature and by early autumn it is time for the sages. All this against a backdrop of ancient native totara and titoki trees and the very special 900 year old kahikatea which the gardens are named after.
You'll also meet some wonderful animals along your way:  our pet sheep Tongariro likes to greet groups on arrival – where else does this happen? Also the alpacas, donkeys, miniature horses, more pet sheep like to check out our visitors too!
Walnuts are also grown on the property - these can be sampled and purchased. To add further interest the old cowshed and stables are filled with memorabilia from a by-gone era.
At Kahikatea Gardens there is something for everyone!
