The spectacular 130-year old grounds of Otahuna were laid out and cultivated under the direction of A.E. Lowe who trained at Kew Gardens, London. The wide vistas over lawn and lake are reminiscent of the Landscape Style of British gardening, whilst behind the homestead a serious of self-contained garden "rooms" were introduced in the 20th and 21st centuries. At the south end of the estate lies a vast, century-old vegetable garden, orchard, cutting garden and several greenhouses, which keep the house stocked with organic produce and flowers throughout the year.
Private guided garden tours of the Otahuna estate are available--by prior reservation only--for $30 per person (minimum charge of $300) year-round. To make a reservation for your group to tour the grounds please contact us on enquiries@otahuna.co.nz or (0)3 329 6333.
