About Hattenburn Gardens

Six acres of gardens in the Tararua foothills, six kilometres west of Carterton at 99 Hinau Gully Road, run by hosts Anna-Marie Kingsley and Malcolm Batchelor. The gardens include native plantings, extensive vegetable gardens, a large developing food forest, and sculptures and artworks throughout. Over one hundred information panels explain garden systems and propagation techniques. The gardens are open seven days a week, dawn to dusk, including public holidays. Entry is $7 per person as at October 2026, paid at the roadside produce stall or by internet banking. Parking is on the roadside, or by the house if mobility is an issue. Dogs are welcome on a leash, and children must be kept within arm's reach because of water hazards.
