Surprisingly Beautiful
Oct. 2020
This is a very interesting garden that has a good number of beautiful flowers that are radiant and colorful. The Fernery and pond with statues added to its beauty. A nice spot for selfies/pictorials too.

Excellent attraction
Feb. 2021
Really nice free activity, lots of plants that you wont see in your garden at home.
You can sit on the seats provided and enjoy the plants.
More of the plants should be labeled, for example the touch me not plant, if you didnt know you would walk right by.

Always absolutely gorgeous.
Feb. 2021
These historic glass houses are always a joy to visit as the plants regularly change with the seasons. The beautiful deco pools and the fernery are an added treat. It costs nothing to enjoy these beautiful gardens.

An Auckland favourite
Dec. 2020 • Couples
One of Auckland's treasures.

The Wintergardens are always worth a visit when near the Auckland Domain. Lovely early 20th century architecture combined with an ever-changing display of interesting plants.

Two glass houses connected by courtyard containing a big pond.

A bit of an adventure for young and old!

Lovely location great place for lunch or afternoon tea
Feb. 2020 • Friends
Been here a few times and its always my go-to when I have a guest visiting Auckland or I stop over to go check out an exhibit at the nearby Auckland War Memorial museum.

Like:
1. The quaint cosy feel in this cottage-style eatery. Inside there some seating near the till and a lovely verandah space to eat outdoors. Also a private dining area that you can hire for events with a lovely working fireplace. Very charming.

2. The menu is simple but tasteful with a small ala carte selection, sandwiches and pastries and cakes in the counter and a lovely high tea that you have to pre-order at $39 pp or $48 with a glass of bubbly.

3. Near enough to the Botanical garden so that you can walk over to see whats in bloom in the lush greenhouse next door.

Other than getting a place to park (which is sometimes a challenge as people are at the domain for all kinds of reasons other than visiting the museum), this is definitely a great place for a weekday morning lunch, coffee or a spot of high tea.

Unexpected and pleasant find
Jan. 2020
I did not know about this little gem hidden in the park and only happened upon it when out walking. It was so wonderful and free entrance was welcome. The flowers are amazing, a lot that i had never seen before. The colours and the fragrance absolutely overwhelming, in a good way. I can't wait to go back here again. It will be on my to do list each time we come to NZ

Lovely Flowers
Feb. 2020
There is a lot to see in the Auckland Domain but make sure you don't miss the Winter Garden - the flowers are lovely. There is no charge to enter and it's a great place to just sit and contemplate nature. There is a restaurant/café not far away with toilets.
