Immerse yourself in Springvale Gardens, a century-old horticultural gem tucked near the foothills of the Ruahine Ranges. This enchanting retreat showcases historic rhododendron and cherry borders, complemented by diverse plantings and rare species. Wander beneath towering natives, where Chatham Islands forget-me-nots bloom and delight in prolific birdlife. Five generations have crafted this living museum, where each plant tells a story, including an array of trees and shrubs that are examples of new varieties developed by different breeders.

Open: All year, by prior arrangement. 

Accommodation
Located a stones-throw from the Ruahine Ranges, the Bed and Breakfast is your home away from home. Expect delicious homemade food and baking as well as great company. Swim in the pool, or try a game of tennis or croquet. For the more reserved, sit on the large deck with a book, and soak in the serene atmosphere.
