Awarded: 2006 ‘Garden of Regional Significance’ by the New Zealand Garden Trust, 2003 ‘Garden of Distinction’ by the Canterbury Horticultural Society.
Rapaura is a 64-acre private estate nestled in the midst of the Coromandel Forest Park. A mature property, which has evolved over more that 40 years, Rapaura offers something for everyone; native trees, ferns, seasonal flora, lily ponds, meandering walks over lush green lawns, bridges and streams, garden sculptures and a relaxing bushwalk to cascading waterfalls, ‘The Seven Stairs to Heaven’.
Ideally situated as a base from which to explore the Coromandel, we offer comfortable self-catering accommodation in a boutique lodge or garden cottage. While the estate is open to the public during the hours of 9am-5pm, in the evening it becomes your private playground. Experience nature at it best, no TV, just peace and the sound of running water.
For delicious home cooked specialities visit ‘KORU at Rapaura’. Open 9am-5pm, 7 days a week, including holidays.
