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.

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.

One of Auckland's treasures. The Wintergardens are always worth a visit when near the Auckland Domain.

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. …

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…
