It’s easy to visit our gardens!

We are a self-drive festival, allowing you to plan your trip in any way that suits you. We encourage you to take in the wonderful sights of the Hurunui region while you are here.

Grouped in clusters

The Hurunui Region is a large area, so we have grouped our gardens into geographical clusters, making it easy for you to plan your trip, beginning with the Hanmer Springs cluster in the north, and finishing with the Amberley cluster in the south.

Suggested travel Times

We have included Suggested Travel Times between clusters under ‘Map’‍ ‍in our website menu. Each cluster, below, also has its own detailed map, showing you the location of the gardens, along with other useful information.

Each garden is numbered, and this corresponds to the numbers on the maps in the website and the brochure.
