Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful oasis with me.
It exceeded my expectations and the high tea was exquisite. You have inspired me to get on with my life projects!
What a wonderful way to fund-raise for our Zonta Awards - a Garden Tea in a beautiful rose garden of one of our members. Thanks to Val Lott for her generosity in hosting us at her home. Our guests appreciated Val's generous sharing of her knowledge of her garden and the roses. Even though there was a mixture of sunshine and a little liquid sunshine, our guests really enjoyed the company, the delicious food, the ambiance of the afternoon and the background music by a talented young musician.

It was the perfect canvas for our day, and we couldn’t be happier. Helen and Dean, the new owners, were excellent communicators—passionate, attentive, and genuinely excited to share their venue with us.
Amazing venue and setting, we loved every minute of our special day. Accommodation is comfortable and grounds well maintained, hard to find any comparable setting - super unique.
"Thank you so much for giving us your time to visit your beautiful garden. Our ladies enjoyed listening to how the garden has been established. Much appreciation from Kotuku Garden Club."
Janene and the team went above and beyond to give our volunteers a wonderful afternoon. The grounds were stunning, and the food was wonderful; we couldn't be happier with the service we received! Thank you so much for supporting HMC; we so appreciate it.
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.
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.
"Jon & Shirley, Thank you for letting us view your wonderful garden. It is an inspiration to us all as well as a testament to your vision and hard work.
