Hereweka is a charming 35-year-old garden nestled in a secluded valley beneath the striking Harbour Cone on the beautiful Otago Peninsula. The gently sloping hillside boasts a diverse array of rhododendrons, along with a variety of intriguing trees and shrubs. Surrounding the house, you'll find expansive borders filled with perennials, classic roses, and a wonderful assortment of snowdrops and other bulbs. Hellebores are a standout feature at Hereweka, making a late winter visit particularly rewarding, although the garden truly shines in spring and summer. A captivating collection of Gondwana-themed plants, including palms, cordylines, and tree ferns, thrives in a nearby side valley. The garden is partially enveloped by regenerating native bush, which features a grove of mature rimu and pokaka trees—the last remnant of its kind on the Otago Peninsula, safeguarded by a QE2 covenant.
