The Enchanted Story Book Nook is a storybook garden at 350 Oturoa Road in Hamurana, Rotorua. Visitors step through a wardrobe into a garden of yellow brick road, fairytale books and whimsical garden art. Husband and wife Brent and Jenna Austin started it in 2019, when they found a derelict shadehouse on the property. Their artist friend Maria Hermans worked on the garden with them.
The shop sells locally made crafts, and coffee is served while visitors wander. The garden was opened to the public with the Rotorua Festival of Gardens in 2023. Opening is by private arrangement from September to March, and special events are held through the year, with a festive day held in December. Themed fairy parties with resident fairies, including games, face painting and crafts, were announced for 2024, so check the current position before planning a party.
