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.
Kayaks were heaps of fun. Gorgeous spot for kayaking. Didn't see a heap of fish due to conditions, but highly recommend either way.
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.
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.
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.
Good food, service and ambience
We had tasty plates to share, squid, pork tacos and the new country pizza. Although the plates looked small, they actually are very filling and we didn't finish everything. The must have--rhubarb tonic for the cocktails is also a pretty pink drink one will surely enjoy. Thumbs up for Smiths!
We shared 5 dishes and all were lovely
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 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.
A lovely day out to look at art and sculptures. Have a bite to eat in between, and finish with a glass of wine.
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
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.
Awesome
Well worth a visit for extensive selection of sculptures inside and outside. Friendly staff and great facilities.
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.
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!
A wonderful eclectic collection of sculptures abd art both indoors and out. Wonderful gardens and settings.
I love this place and arts. We wanna go and see more and more , thanks. Excellence , lovely.
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.
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.
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 👍
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
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!
If you are planing to spend a day outside and see some cool stuff, I highly recommend this place.
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.
Lots to see and interesting discussions with the kids on how art is interpreted. Kids haa sax be asked to go again
This was one of my favourite day experience, it’s brilliantly done. I only wish we’d had more time so that we could have eaten lunch too There something for everyone
A huge thank u to the owners and staff of this magnificent art collection. Impressive!
