Nestled within Massey University, these gardens offer a tranquil escape into a world of roses, camellias, rhododendrons and a charming sunken garden. With sections dating back over a century, these grounds are lovingly tended by expert horticulturists and feature manicured formal lawns edged by vibrant cottage flower beds. The iconic wisteria-draped veranda and graceful balustrade set the scene for memorable gatherings, making Wharerata Gardens not only a picturesque backdrop for events but also an enchanting location for both outdoor and indoor weddings.
