Kayaks were heaps of fun. Gorgeous spot for kayaking. Didn't see a heap of fish due to conditions, but highly recommend either way.
Absolutely fabulous staff . 200% for helping my 89 year old dad onto the sand and on and off the boat. Saw ray and fish on choppy day - lovely views. Thanks Kip and all the others for a fab trip.
Cannot recommend this enough - for the money it's the best introduction to scuba we could've had. You won't get a cert from it, but it will provide you with everything you need, there's no hidden costs when you arrive and the staff are both professional and passionate. Would love to go further and complete the open water cert next! Thanks for an amazing experience all :-)
Had great time doing snorekelling with awesome staff. Would love to come again for scuba. Cheers guys. Great work.
We really enjoyed Ti Point Reptile Park. Very relaxing walking around the grounds looking at the reptiles. Not very crowded. Will return again.
WOW!!! They owners were lovely, the environment is absolutely stunning, great walk for the kids, and all the animals etc are very well looked after, their enclosures are very well maintained. Thank you for having us, such a great experience.
There are so many nooks and crannies here. Just when you think you have seen it all, hidden around corners there is much more to see. Had a great time, gorgeous weather and all creatures were out and about. Harrison the capuchin was a delightful surprise. Will recommend to others and we will be back one day
Our boys loved exploring Ti Point Reptile Park, lots of lizards, turtles and other amazing animal life. Beautiful setting amongst native bush and we loved the fact that this is obviously a family's life work/passion.
The sculptureum is set in beautiful grounds with averies & rabbits also. The sculptures are well set out & plaques to explain the sculptures. There are also 2 restaurants on site
An amazing gallery with two beautiful gardens with awesome photo spots. Surprised and delighted to see beutiful birds, rabbits and turtles. Great experience for all ages. Spent around 2 hours there.
A lovely day out to look at art and sculptures. Have a bite to eat in between, and finish with a glass of wine.
We hadn’t visited this place for a while but it didn’t disappoint. It has been well maintained. Meandering around the pretty paths on a summers day with magnificent lifelike sculptures appearing and finishing with a coffee on the shady deck made for a perfect day.
We really enjoyed our visit. The whole place was beautifully presented. The sculptures were an interesting mix. The quotes made interesting reading. The day we visited was drizzly and overcast but it didn't take anything away from the experience. Even my teens had a good day and they are hard to please.
Highly recommended! Very peaceful place and healing place, balancing all senses. The art collection, the nature, the staff …everything is in a harmony Thank you for sharing your treasure with us
This is an amazing place to visit. We love every minute from the start to finish. We took our daughters 8 and 10yrs who equally loved it. A highlight was feeding the rabbits. Alot of time and money has been spent here. Thank you so much, we'll be back soon.
A special place to visit with a beautifully planned, planted garden. To walk through and see the sculptures within these settings. On top of your garden walk. You enter a stunning set of Art galleries. With incredible art works to see. A super place to visit. A lovely restaurant. Whose staff were so lovely, catering for my small Grandchildren. Umbrellas available if the weather changes. Incredibly well designed, well thought out. Easy parking. Well worth the visit. My second time here and just as enjoyable, as the first.
Awesome
What a surprise find near Matakana. The outside gardens and sculptures are beautifully curated. You also have the stunning inside art galleries with a diverse range of art. We visited on a winters day and it was still stunning- we will have to return during the other seasons to see it all again.
This place is fabulous, the gardens are blissful in the shade and the sculptures throughout really pop. The gardeners do a wonderful job here. The art galleries are FULL with so much engaging art, it's really enjoyable, and is updated - great photo opportunities, and lots of hidden gems. The only thing I don't love is the aviaries - I'd love to see either much bigger aviaries for the birds (an open aviary would be even better), or no birds in the aviaries. However, the place is really well worth it!
First time visitor and will definitely be visiting this place again. Super exceded all expectations. The sculptures, some quite funny. The walk around the gardens is so tranquil.
Something for everyone. Really good value with a bookme discount but would have paid more and it would still be good value entertainment. We hadn't planned to stay for food or drink but decided to have a wine and bite to eat - the service was great and the staff were friendly and flexible to serve us between lunch and dinner. Something different in Matakana! Well worth a visit.
The Sculptureum is a really cool place to visit, the full price had put me off a bit but bookme's price was great. There are heaps of things to look at, it takes a while to work around. Us adults enjoyed it as much as our 2 year old.
Well worth a visit for extensive selection of sculptures inside and outside. Friendly staff and great facilities.
We had a fabulous experience with Sculptureum . The ticketing process was easy . On arrival parking spaces were plentiful despite holiday crowds .The meet and greet hostess was exceptional ,delightful and most helpful . We asked for a wheelchair and this was provided with a smile despite the busy reception desk . The gardens were stunning and immaculate and very wheelchair friendly . The art gallery was amazing and full of surprises . Thank you Book me for making it possible ! Totally recommend this !
What a beautifully put together exhibition of talent AND on our doorstep. From the lady in the shop to the coffee to the well cared for grounds and the sculptures. Not to mention the gallery! We had U.K visitors who were equally blown away. Thanks
Amazing! Loved it!!! Went for the sculptures and art and was very impressed. So refreshing to have fun pieces displayed in a fabulous setting. Very original and much needed alternative cultural experience for New Zealand. Book me made this more affordable for us. Cheers 👍
If you are planing to spend a day outside and see some cool stuff, I highly recommend this place.
Lots to see and interesting discussions with the kids on how art is interpreted. Kids haa sax be asked to go again
Had a wonderful time here. Could possibly get a bit more signage on where to buy tickets or the entrance is. Some stunning artworks. A lovely walk to experience different points of view. Inspirational quotes. Loved the snails. Great for old and young.
