Guided walks through a productive seaside plot paired with an afternoon spread make this intimate visit on Shelly Beach Road stand out from typical island tours. Guests explore a diverse range of fruit, vegetables, and flowers while learning how the balanced ecosystem functions, led by Simon, whose lively approach and depth of knowledge anchor the visit. The walk is set on flat ground, keeping the stroll easy and accessible as you weave between the beds.
After the tour, visitors settle at outdoor tables for a generous high tea featuring ingredients harvested directly from the garden alongside a choice of hot and cold beverages. Tucked quietly along Shelly Beach in Surfdale on Waiheke Island, it connects what is grown in the soil straight to the afternoon tea table. Our pick on Waiheke for an unhurried, hands-on garden visit with genuine local warmth.
