Ngahuha
★★★★
Ngahuha has large stands of both temperate and sub-tropical plants have been augmented by water features, stonewalling and meandering walkways throughout the garden. This is a garden of interest in all seasons. Magnolias are a feature of the garden in late winter. A large lotus pond is a major attraction of high summer. In autumn the scent, reminiscent of ripe apricots, from numerous plantings of Osmanthus fragrans aurantiacus throughout the garden is a sensory delight. In favourable years there is a sustained autumn display from the large plantings of Liriodendrons, Tupelo, Liquidamber and Japanese Maples.
The owners have collected many rare and uncommon plants which are of interest to garden enthusiasts and a concerted effort has been made to landscape the garden as a natural retreat from a busy world.
