Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were staying in Tauranga for a few days so took a trip to the Hamilton Botanical gardens. There is no entry fee, but you can purchase a map for $2.00 to find your way around. This place is huge, so the map is a worthwhile purchase. The money for the map goes toward the upkeep of the gardens.
The gardens are stunning, and you can easily spend half a day looking at all the themed gardens.
There is also a cafe that serves hot drinks and food.

What a hidden gem this garden is! Absolutely stunning with enormous trees over 100 years old. Beautiful place to picnic on grass or at tables. Plenty of shade also.

Famously designed garden by Guilfoyle in 1800s. Small and easy to wander around close to city centre.

The gardens are laden with beautiful green shady European trees and rambling green lawns and is a great place to go on a hot day. As soon as you enter you can feel a cool drop in the temperature, because of the shade and greenness, giving instant relief. There's a lovely duck and fish pond with a walking bridge and kids love to feed the ducks. There's also a playground and plenty of room for children to play and run around. There's a lovely rotunda on the lawn area and a beautiful old water fountain along the path that rambles throughout the gardens. A great place to take the family.

This garden is stunning. Designed by the same garden designer as the Melbourne Botanical gardens it has some amazing heritage trees and an old world feel. Beautiful whimsical Fountain and gazebo. Oh and a giant amphitheatre with love music in a rotunda some weekends.
