Longbush Cottage
★★★★
Visit the gardens at Longbush Cottage and embark on an enchanting journey through nature's beauty. As you step into this modern flower-filled cottage garden, you will be immersed in vibrant colours and captivating planting themes. Located in the beautiful central Wairarapa, just 15 minutes from Martinborough and Carterton.
The garden is divided into vibrant garden rooms, each boasting its unique colour scheme and planting theme. Spread over a sprawling hectare of land, these garden rooms radiate from the 1890s cottage, creating a captivating landscape.
Take your time to explore each space at your own pace during the self-guided tour, which typically lasts about an hour. Every day of the year, the gardens offer areas of interest that change and evolve, ensuring that there is always something enchanting to discover.
Points of interest are the rose filled White Garden, native hedging, flower-filled cottage boarders, peonies, irises, late flowering perennials, grasses, and a large mere (body of water).
Each Spring, the garden hosts the annual Tulip Festival that showcases then tens of thousands of Tulips that have been planted throughout the gardens. In addition, several other events take place throughout the summer months.
