The Rainforest Eatery is open 8.30am – 4pm daily during the Taranaki Fringe Garden Festival.

Over seven decades Pukeiti has built up one of the world’s biggest and most diverse rhododendron collections. They, along with other exotics, create an explosion of colour amidst lush native rainforest and mountain streams. The 360 ha property also boasts an all-weather visitor centre, a great range of free, family-orientated activities and walking tracks for all fitness levels. Other highlights include the Kids Treehouse Trail, the Fitness Trail, the popular Rainforest Eatery and the Piwakawaka Hut which can be booked through the Council website.

What’s On:

27 – 29 Oct: Robin Morrison will be showing her Photographic Exhibition in the Rata Room 10am – 3pm.

27 Oct – 5 Nov: Mobility vehicle rides 10am & 1pm daily.

Every Friday, Saturday & Sunday: Guided walking tours 2pm.

"The thanks should go to the gardeners who open their gardens to allow garden lovers to enjoy. They must be exhausted tonight! Without them there would be no gardens open to enjoy. Congratulations and thanks - you deserve it."
