Visitor Reviews

Simply fabulous

The Stratford Garden Club visited this extraordinary garden on a beautiful spring day. Our host was fabulous and most informative. We were all mesmerized by it. The garden definitely deserves and in fact requires a second and third visit to see and enjoy all the wonderful spaces, planting and vistas.

Thank you .

Pigeon Mountain Garden Club

An AMAZING garden that astonished us all from the time we drove into the palm lined driveway until we left - still shaking our heads about the hard work and vision that we had seen. MASSES of stunning bromelliads ...not usually a fan but I'm a convert now! Wonderful to see superb trees- both native and exotic - and clever plantings.Ann + Graham have created a beautiful ,interesting garden with both skill and foresight....there was always something lovely to see....such a treat.

Your amazing property

I just wanted to thank you for allowing my twin sister and me to visit your amazing property last week. What an absolute inspiration and delight you are Judy. You’ve kept that dream alive after your dear husband passed and I think it’s keeping you going!! We so enjoyed the experience, swapping our funny gardening stories and seeing your beautiful garden. The photos don’t do it justice but I created a post on my own page, The Uralla Garden. Hope you don’t mind.  I used some of the photos from your website but captioned them as such.
Hope you are well and once again thank you Judy

Roseanne Way

Heartfelt thanks from both of us for the most magical weekend celebrating our "Happily Ever After". Nestled in the native bush at HUs Boutique Venue & Accommodation, our intimate ceremony with close family and friends was an absolute dream. You went above and beyond as our host, and we’re so grateful.  Check out our video reel on the HŪS website — it perfectly shows off the amazing venue and how well it accommodates a winter wedding. All our guests raved about the incredible location, magical setting, and fabulous all-round experience. We highly recommend HŪS to anyone looking for a stunning, intimate venue in Auckland.

My daughter Maddy was married here last year.

"My daughter Maddy was married here last year. It was absolutely beautiful. Sharon thought of every detail, was so generous and caring. The gardens are spectacular- you won’t be disappointed 🌸🌸🌸"Catherine OConnell
"My daughter got married last month and I cannot recommend Paterson Park and Gardens highly enough! Sharon is truly the 'host with the most'! Nothing was a problem and on the day she was on deck making sure everything went perfectly. There's even a golf cart to ferry guests around! Thankyou Sharon for the most magical day 🥰"Paula Robertson
