Thanks for the amazing safari, sadly didn’t get to see the whales but was delighted to see so many dolphins

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.

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

We really enjoyed Ti Point Reptile Park. Very relaxing walking around the grounds looking at the reptiles. Not very crowded. Will return again.

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.

Friendly and helpful staff, keep an eye on you, encouraging & cute too. :)

Roxy is good teacher. My son very like this lesson. Next time will come back

There are great experience after two hour boat ride we saw a group of dolphins swim near our boat.. do some acrobatic action...

My partner and myself had a great day out with Eco Charter.

The weather was really bad and all my other tours were cancelled already but Ness contacted me and gave me options . It was my last day in Auckland And so we went ahead with the tour . Thank God for that coz Ness was such an excellent guide and an awesome person I had a very wonderful experience . She lives and grew up in Matakana so she knows the place so well . Our first stop was a really nice cheese place which has the best cream cheese and blue cheese ! And oh tried the best New Zealand coffee done her way at that shop too. What a lovely way to start the day ! She brought me to lovely boutique wineries and one big one Villa Maria on the way to the airport and she’s very knowledgeable on wines and just very nice I was chatting with her endlessly about anything . Sampled some chocolates at the quaint Matakana town shopping area too . From being windy and rainy , it turned out to be a really awesome day . Thank you Ness for being spectacular driver guide and host. Now I have a friend in Matakana too?

We had excellent weather and saw 2 pods of dolphins. Got to spend a decent amount of time at each spot and got some good photos. Just a shame we didn't see any whales but that's out of their control and we still had an amazing time.

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

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

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.

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 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.

Definitely enjoy this family trip. Wonderful art pieces both indoor and outdoor. Highly recommend.

Such a unique experience! Gorgeous gardens, artwork, animals and staff. Everything is designed sooo meticulously... It's perfect for kids, teens, adults and seniors too. 150% recommended!

Beautiful and surprisingly well-maintained place. You can clearly see the effort put in place for visitors to have a great day out. The indoor galleries house many colourful and interesting artworks, which even my 8 year old enjoyed observing and reading about. It was a cloudy day, so I’d imagine some of the outdoor artworks looking more brilliant on a sunny day, but it’s a compromise I’m happy to make for a comfortable and leisurely stroll. We ordered Freddie’s feast for lunch, all good and yummy. The Watermelon and Cucumber cider is refreshing too. We stayed much longer than we’d expected. Recommend for sure. :)

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.

This was our 3rd visit and still enjoyed every moment wandering around the beautifully designed and landscaped grounds scattered with sculptures from many different artists. After a quick drinks break in the restaurant, Rothko, we continued our journey through the galleries where even more wonderment can be found to enjoy. This is a day out where you really don’t want to rush! We will be back!!

If you are planing to spend a day outside and see some cool stuff, I highly recommend this place.

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!

It was an amazing experience enjoyed by my whole family. It was more fun to know that a lot of stuff was made right here in NZ. Being from Auckland gave me a sense of pride that such talented people live in Auckland. Even my brother in law from Australia loved it. 👌👌👌

If you’re in Matakana, passing through or nearby and you don’t go snd view then you’re missing out on an amazing Restaurant, gardens and Galleries....one word...WOW ....loved it and the food was divine.

What an absolute hidden gem! Stunning grounds, winery and restaurant as well as the sculpture gardens which were amazing and full of so much colour and beautiful pieces large and small. Everything was to a high standard! We thoroughly enjoyed our time and spent quite a few hours there. Highly recommend!

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

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.

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 👍
