Thackwood Garden
Thackwood Garden, comprising three acres, was given a new lease of life some 20 years ago. The house is built on a hill with commanding views of Tasman Bay and the garden has been extended down a step bank that has been terraced, planted and leads down to a large pond at the bottom of a flat paddock. Near the house the mood is gentle with an emphasis on fragrance and beauty.
