A Truely Paradise Moment

We thought we were just going to look at a garden. BUT NO...this was a total mind blowing experience. We were greeted Christine and showed thru their totally unique lodge her husband has worked his artistic woodsmanship talent totally thru out the home. From the fish tank used as the water tank in the toilet to all the crafted wood. The breath-taking view from the kitchen window of the lake.We were shown the 2 Air B&B suites.Then outside to the garden. There was so much to see,it was hard to know which way to look. The gardens just amazing with sculptures doing yoga poses and placed throughout the garden giving the eye something to focus on. The ducks and birds and peacocks calling gave the atmosphere. There was a tree top curved staircase to climb which was amazing to view the property and views over lake Wakitipu. Finally we had the experience of feeding the birds,ducks and peacocks. The peacocks came so close to us and it felt almost intimate watching them put on a show with their feathers all out and their tails wiggling. You could feel the breeze as they turned around. This review I'm doing isn't doing Paradise Dream Garden any justice. It's an unforgettable experience and I totally recommend it to everyone.

Definitely made my trip to NZ worth while. I’ve never experienced a garden like it, thousands of flowers & amazing wildlife amongst man made creations. And the house tour was definitely worth it. Great customer service. Tried to add more photos we took of flowers but could only add 2 pics

Filled with artistic flair this unique lakeside Garden is so unexpected in this alpine environment. Truly, you will see surprising works of art created from organic materials and ingenious adaptions for normal household utilities like the bath.

A magical place!

This is truly a little paradise! The views are breathtaking... everywhere you look there are flowers, lush gardens and sculptures (made by the owner), with the mountains as a backdrop. It is peaceful and relaxing... and an inspirational place especially for artists. I also got a tour of the house, which is just amazing - with beautiful furniture and decorations made by the owner out of recycled wood. I am so glad I decided to visit!

After a delayed start due to cloud, 3 of us headed off to Glenorchy. Very friendly, helpful and efficient staff ensured we were kitted out and briefed in no time. Then we were up, up, and away, before the nerves had a chance to surface. My TM was very cool, and chatty, which helped the flight go really quickly. It wasn't until the door opened that the reality of what I was doing kicked in, but too late to chicken out, lol! I have to admit that I did not enjoy the freefall part, but once the chutes were up and you could relax a little it was ok. We did a few spins which was fun, and before you know it we were landing safely. Once you're back on the ground it's hard to believe you actually did it! It was cool to be able to have a good yarn with the boys afterwards, to learn about how this became their passion, and just how much work goes into achieving TM status. Bonus little trip into Glenorchy while we waited for a few others to jump, it was kinda funny to watch them from afar, descending through the clouds. A great day overall, thanks team!

It was so nice. The next time I do, I want to jump out of a higher ground. The bad weather kept delaying for two days, but I was impressed by the kindness of the staff. And when skydiving, it was so cool. My partner who jumped together was really the best.

Absolutely brillant experience however I blinked and it was over. Our pilot Matt was really nice and informative. I would do it again in a heartbeat but I would definitely save a few more dollars in advance and go for a longer flight. We landed on mount Larkin which was like another planet very cool. My advise to anyone would be to do it however take out your camera for one of the flights either to or from your landing sight. On the other flight just open you eyes and take it all in!

Highly recommended! Being my second time to Glenorchy, first time drive by myself which is soooo difficult when I gets the off-road area. Absolutely wise to Use 4WD instead of normal car to go in there plus This truck / bus is so cool. Our driver is very nice, being informative so I can see many different things compare to the first time I went by myself. And lots of important photo spots! It also has Commentary on board which got different languages versions and it suits both me and my non-English speaking mother! This trip even has a nice warm afternoon tea provided :) Animal experience is the other reason I choose this trip, not too many trip do both Glenorchy and animal experience. I just love the animal experience there! All in all, very professional trip, highly recommended.! and we thank you MR U for that lovely afternoon with me and my mother!

Was way better than I expected! The tour was just smooth, relaxed, informative, and really fun! Our tour guide, Joe, wasn’t just cool and funny, he also has superb driving-while-talking skills. ;) I like that we didn’t just sit in the transport all day; we get to have fun walks, we get to really admire the view and have really nice photos all courtesy of Joe. I love that we went to a secret location and did a little picnic. He even allowed me to borrow some robes and cool swords so I can dress up as Arwen while having yummy snacks and enjoying the place. I’ll definitely come back and bring my family and friends so they can experience an amazing trip as well! Thanks Pure Glenorchy! Till next time :)
