Our vision
In 2017 we bought this property and have been steadily developing it into a tropical fruit and flower paradise which we enjoy sharing with anyone who has similar interests. You are welcome to visit our boutique banana plantation and large collection of lotus plants and other tropical plants - we are open Friday, Saturday, Sunday and public holidays from 9 to 4 and other days and times by arrangement - call 027 4391570 or 027 4391572.
Some of the things you'll see
- Around the garden -
Kids' playground
Let the kids check out the playground while you visit!
Tranquil places to reflect
Plenty of spots around the garden to rest and relax in the shade!
Musa Zebrina banana
A special ornamental banana with dark blood-red splashes on the leaves
Pink lotus and seed pod
Lotus season never disappoints - here you have a bud with all its promise, beside the developing seed pod.
Make friends with a rock
If we can lift it with the digger, you can even take one home! Plenty of ancient and beautiful specimens to choose from.
Waterlilies
Our 10 acre lake has waterlilies of several different colours - it's too deep for lotus but the waterlilies love it.
