What travellers are saying
- jasmith228Auckland, New Zealand1 contributionLoved every part of the Sculptureum. It was a wet day but it didn’t stop us seeing the outdoor areas with the umbrellas available for visitors. . It was our second visit but took family members with us this time & they were very impressed as were we. And there were new exhibits on display since our other visitWritten 6 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tabatha1998Auckland, New Zealand638 contributionsA wonderful bookshop - the old-fashioned type. A mixture of boutiques, none of them cheap!

- Mr EatsAuckland Central, New Zealand73 contributionsGreat morning out with the family- cool markets - tasty food! Good vibes - kids playground is a bit tired and needs some love but was still enjoyed.
Food truck food was good but expensive for what you got -$10 for a mussel fritter is wild - doughnuts and baked goods were excellent 👌🏽Written 9 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

As always, everything was delicious and well-presented, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the grounds around were tended with obvious care making our afternoon a most enjoyable one! Well worth the hours drive from Auckland.Written 26 August 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- TURNERONapier, New Zealand42 contributionsWe have visited this memorial quite a few times over the years. Quite small but always well kept. A quiet place for reflection. Couldn’t get to the memorial his time around due to covid19, but will return here once the pandemic is all over.

- Ellemay 🍹🐠🐳Sydney, Australia47,363 contributionsIf visiting Matakana village on the weekend then visiting the farmers village is certainly worth the time to explore.

- Neville J2 contributionsA beautifully presented Gothic style church set in park like surroundings.
The building dates from 1896 when it was built in Matakana village. It was transferred to the Country Park in 2007 and has been the venue for more than 300 weddings since that date.
The building is managed and maintained by The St Andrews Matakana Trust.Written 29 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The find wasn't the wines, it was the hostess - she was just amazing!. After sampling a couple of her suggestions, we then took home a couple of bottles all at a very reasonable price.
We tasted a number of wines, loved the venue - but our overwhelming memory is of the hostess recommending varietals we never would have thought to try.
We thought this a real find.Written 7 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
