Loved visiting the Giant's House! Had never been before and am so glad we went. It is a whimsical place that astounds you with the sheer scale of it. It's hard to fathom it is the work of primarily one person. If you go to Akaroa, go to The Giant's House!
My visit to the Giants House made for a happy day for me, and surprisingly my husband. We both thoroughly enjoyed it and found it inspiring. I’m a mosaic artist and horticulturist and my husband is now supportive of my creating mosaic pathways and seating areas around our property. We loved Josie Martin’s peaceful gardens and beautiful quirky creations. So much creative and happy energy in the exceptionally designed, healthy and colorful gardens. We enjoyed visiting the gallery as well. The mosaics and gardens are even more impressive than the pics show. Josie’s gardens and art are truly a treasure no one should miss.
A fun couple of hours or more spent in this querky garden which has been 22yrs in the making by the owner/artist. A delightful little cafe selling homemade goodies and refreshments. So beautifully presented! An absolute must for lovers of art, ceramics& gardens alike. An attraction offering value for money. I highly recommend it.
this is an incredible garden/sculptural museum that is thoughtful in design and upkeep. Among the perfectly pruned flowers and foliage, rosemary, sage, lemon, pear, apple, sweet pea and tomato complement the artwork and the house around them as if they were part of it all along. You will want to go around every path for a second and third time, looking for new details.
Oh my word. This is an amazing place. Have been to Akaroa previously, however had never visited this wonderful attraction. Attached are just a few of the extraordinary mosaic pieces.
