Seafields Luxury Coastal Retreat Auckland
- A Gardener’s Paradise

For gardening enthusists from Seafields luxury accommodation Stephanie can arrange your accommodation package to include a gardener’s paradise tour.

Ayrlies Garden
Established 40 years ago, Ayrlies is a 15 acre garden for all seasons which has been sculptured energetically from a bare paddock. This stunning garden is characterised by sweeping lawns and informal but detailed plantings, ponds and waterways and is featured in the international BBC series Gardener's world, "Around the World in 80 Gardens" which celebrates major gardens worldwide.
 
Haunui Farm
Old growth of native totaras, rimus, puriris and nikau provide a lush native bush background to the garden and to the working areas of the thoroughbred stud at Haunui Farm. The garden features an extensive collection of camellias, maples, magnolias and a wide variety of shrubs, roses, perennials and annuals providing interest all year round. By request horses are available for viewing on the stable lawn.
 
Whitford Bird Garden
An aviary of native and exotic plants, birds and reptiles. Renowned wildlife artist Blake Twigden has combined his love of nature and knowledge of plant and birdlife in one spectacular walk through aviary environment, unique to New Zealand and featuring exotic ducks, ornamental pheasants & finches from around the world including the rare and beautiful.
 
We also recommend a visit to the Auckland Botanic Garden, a 10 minute drive from Seafields and is open year round.  The garden covers 160 acres of spectacular plant collections from around the world, lakes and wandering paths. Special attractions include "The Threatened Native Plant Garden", and the "Potter Children's Garden".
 
A small entry fee is charged at all but the Auckland Botanic Garden.
