Reviews
Very beautiful botanic gardens with bright flowers, colourful and interesting trees. The gardens have nice walking trails with many areas of interests, like the Duck Pond, Rose Gardens etc. Some of the trees are very beautiful and probably exotic. Many flowers were in bloom during the visit and we could spot many butterflies. Need about half day to explore the place. Combine with a visit to the cable car at one side of the botanic garden.
The scenery and walks are nice, and it being on a hill gives it many opportunities to see the landscape of Wellington City. There are many meaningful places to go to and many places to chill. Unfortunately, I found myself often comparing these gardens to the Hamilton Gardens. It really did just feel more like walking through a bush walk rather than visiting actual gardens. In the end, it is still a nice place to visit and go through.
Visited the gardens after a ride up on the cable car. Really nice way to spend a couple of hours. The gardens have a duck pond and quite a few different sections. Bergonia house at the bottom is a nice spot to stop for a coffee or a bite to eat. Great views of Wellington from the top of the gardens aswell.
Beautiful couple hours spent walking around the gardens, beautiful view over Welly toonCan’t comment on the cable car as we ended up walking up to the top of the botanic gardens but I am sure it’s a great ride too!nThere are toilets at the top of the Cable Car, a restaurant the view is wonderful, a cable car museum and a souvenir shop
A gorgeous walk down from the cable car, this trail meanders through rose gardens, trails lined with colourful hydrangeas, trees, a playground....so much beauty you want to be sure you have your camera ready! Tip: just pay for the cable car one-way, up, and walk down through the gardens. It is a steep walk, only about a 22 minutes, but I'm guessing much easier than walking up instead!
