The garden flows around the Tudor Style house with cottage plantings and some natives, making the most of the differing soils - wet and dry - as well as sunny and shady areas.

All senses are evoked, the garden is rich in birdsong and delicate scents; your eyes are met with picturesque beauty and your heart captured by a sense of calm and tranquility.
Oasis Cottage
Nestled just outside Oxford near the foothills of the Southern Alps, Oasis Cottage is a charming cottage steeped in history dating back to 1898. This historical charm is further enhanced by its five-acre country garden, which beautifully combines formal elegance with natural charm.
Whakapuni Station Garden
Whakapuni Station is a working sheep and beef farm in the South Wairarapa, just a 20 minute drive from Martinborough. The property was purchased by Andy and Bridget Mathewson in 2008 and has taken on quite the transformation since. The homestead was built in 1931 so the garden is a mix of old and new which adds to the interest and surprise around each corner.
