Springvale Gardens is a century-old garden and bed and breakfast at 2180 Pohangina Valley East Road in Pohangina, in the Manawatū, near the foothills of the Ruahine Ranges. The website says five generations of one family have made it into a living garden, with historic rhododendron and cherry borders, Chatham Islands forget-me-nots, and new tree and shrub varieties from different breeders. It is known for prolific birdlife and seasonal flowers.
The bed and breakfast offers homemade food and baking, a swimming pool, tennis and croquet, and a large deck for quiet time with a book. The website describes it as a home away from home.
