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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

literally.... Normally, the prices I found were too steep. Happy to have seen this offer on Bookme. It was worth the visit. They had different areas to try and explore. We didn't eat at their restaurant though; although it looked like they had quite a good spread on offer, we had in our company littlies with very limited palettes. If you visit from quite a distance away, make sure to set aside at least half a day for the sights. Better yet, a day or two to best explore what Matakana has to offer. Be prepared for lots of walking. They also do offer a "scavenger hunt" for the kids to enjoy.

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.

We loved it so much here, my kids thoroughly enjoyed it and my parents loved it too! Had been waiting a long time to come here and was not disappointed. Highly recommend!

Such a beautiful experience, stunning sculptures and exhibits. Beautifully maintained. Even the teen boys enjoyed it!

We delighted in the sculptures, the artwork, the quotations and the setting. Anthony Grant has created a unique experience, he has invested a lot of time and creativity and has displayed everything clearly and accessibly. There is humour and insight in the quotations and in fact in the displays too. Thank you.

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.

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

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!

A lovely day out - such a wide variety of art and sculptures, something for everyone. Easy walk around the beautiful gardens and so much to see at every turn. Lovely restaurant for lunch.

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!!

At first I wasn't sure whether it would be worth the entrance fee, but from the moment we walked in we were blown away. The art is fun, vibrant and so very well presented and in such a unique way. Its the way art should be. Fun! As we walked through it continued to be equally as great all the way to the end. We brought my mum for her 65th birthday and had 2 kids, 1 and 4 with us. Everyone had a great time. Finished off at freddies with a delicious gelato bowl. The art collection is incredible and we will be recommending it to everyone!

Awesome place to visit, highly recommend you check it out.

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

Peaceful surroundings, interesting sculptures and worth the trip to Matakana.

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. :)

Well worth the drive from Auckland. What a fabulous way to display your art collection so the public can enjoy. There is something there for everyone and lots of ‘hidden art treasures’ throughout the gardens. Only disappointment was the limited range of food offered at the cafe. We were looking forward to coffee and muffins (or scones) but no cabinet food on offer. It was a Monday and autumn and under Covid restrictions so not very busy and perhaps this determines the menu. That aside, do make the journey and take the time to enjoy! Here’s a teaser for you!

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!

Have to go on a nice day, well layed out, amazing sculpture experience and gallaries for adults and teens. We bypassed through Orewa, another great place to stop. Sculptureum staff were friendly, plan for half a day at least with traveling through Aucks traffic

Pleasantly surprised by what was hidden behind the road front hedges. Beautiful care taken of gardens, walkways and layout. Little display corners ticked away to discover. Next time will check out lawn bar & restaurant!

We visited with our 2 kids (3 and 7) and we all thoroughly enjoyed exploring every part of these stunning gardens and galleries. It rained for our whole visit but was not a worry at all as they supplied us with umbrellas so don't let the rain stop you from visiting this beautiful spot.
