NIGHT LIGHTS GARDEN WALK -
Meadowcroft Garden, 722 Otaki Gorge Rd
After a great turn out last night, Neil and Avis MacInnes are again opening their special garden again TONIGHT.
Discreet lighting brings the garden alive after dark and provides an opportunity to see another side of this unique garden - and to also raise funds for the Te Horo Hall renovations. The garden is usually only opened at night to friends and family, so this is a special second chance.
Meadowcroft garden will open to all from 7pm – last entry 9.30pm. $15pp and $5 for children under 12 years.
(Cash only please)
Off road parking will be available.
Please note:
Due to water features and reduced lighting the garden is not suitable for young children, and no pets are allowed. Special care is required as there are steps, sloping pathways and ponds. Every effort has been made by the owners to ensure the garden and car parks safety. Both are entered at visitors own risk.
THANKYOU NEIL & AVIS - and the Mansell family for providing parking in their paddock! 🤩🤩

After fantastic feedback in 2024, Neil and Avis MacInnes are again opening their special garden at night. Discreet lighting brings the garden alive after dark and provides an opportunity to see another side of this unique garden - and to also raise funds for the Te Horo Hall renovations. The garden is usually only opened at night to friends and family, so this is a special opportunity, not to be missed.
