The mosaic garden of the Giant’s House is a vibrant, lively, and engaging space that exudes romance and joy, filled with delightful surprises. Nestled on a sunny, sheltered hillside facing north in a picturesque valley in Akaroa, it’s just a 1.5-hour drive from Christchurch. This enchanting garden encircles a grand historic home, once owned by the first manager of BNZ Bank, constructed from totara and kauri wood. The area features flat spaces around the house, while terraced gardens gracefully ascend the hillside. By blending historical elements with modern art and harmonizing gardens with sculptures, it creates a truly one-of-a-kind experience.
