We visited here in February after the summer holidays with our three primary school aged children. We loved everything about this place! We walked the children's hut track, walking through the covered garden and enjoying the pond and a quick tour to the lookout and waterwheel before we started. We needed at least two hours to do the kids track properly and there was still so much more to see. We will be back! The cafe closes at 4pm

Amazing place for a nice walk! Very well kept plants and flowers. The cafe has lovely staff and great food and drinks. Me and my partner loved spotting all the different hidden sculptures and art pieces throughout the forest too.

Its out of the way, and you start to wonder if it will be worth it... it is. Its an incredibly interesting contrast between our native flora being dull and generally small leafed and the rhododendron with pops of bright colour and large leaves in contrast to the natives. The food at the Cafe was really good. Such a present place to go for a stroll and I recommend heading to Keiller's garden, its a pleasant surprise and a nice resting spot.

A great family outing. Grab & return the trail maps of Pukeiti @ entrance. Winter flowers blooming. 3 main trekking path with many sub divided path to meet any level of distance, time & interest. Plan a good day to spend the whole day there. Cafe & lounges are only open on Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Other days, do bring your own food/drinks/energy bars for an enjoyable trip. I saw an adult brown hopping along the path. There are watch towers to enjoy 360 above flag round views & seats for tiring hikers. Toilet with sensors are open to welcome guests. NP council is recommended to install more signboards along road path to Pukeiti as 10km distance between signboard puts drivers doubting road direction there.

Well worth the drive. Nice stroll through the forest. The long walk isn't as daunting as they make it out to be. We walked really slow and still did it in about 40 mins.

A magic walk...missed the big flower show because of the season...finished with a tasty lunch and coffee in the cafe!
