a garden of international significance

  • Thank you for a very special day. Your garden is so peaceful and inspiring. We could just feel the love you have put into making this a little bit of New Zealand paradise. I found it quite an emotional experience to sit in your beautiful garden and just enjoy being there.

  • I loved your garden. It has a soul. Your garden has a sense of place of where it is and what it is. Therefore it is unique. All a unity and a garden that is like no other and which could not be anywhere else in the whole world. Of course, it is well-groomed too.

  • I first saw Ōmāio many years ago when on a lecture tour to New Zealand from the UK. It really is the most amazing and special place with a collection of plants superbly well placed together. A true plantsman’s paradise, Very well worth a visit, notebook and camera in hand.

  • I thought your garden was fantastic, your location and setting stunning, your flora and fauna full of great combinations of native and exotic plants and then the beautifully planned walks (fearless back-breaking natural beauty) And then everywhere its resourceful complementing design elements, that made your garden a NZ wondrous coastal native experience.

  • Thank you so much for the lovely welcome and for providing the opportunity for us to enjoy the peace, tranquility and beauty of your amazing garden. It was so worth a repeat visit for me and we were all in awe of your dedication and hard work that has gone into the creation and maintenance of such a wonderful place. It was a memorable experience for us all.
