Pamela Moresby
Four lions for four sides surrounded by four pools plus a centre pool under fountain and there are other pools.
I love fountains, waterfalls, and pools. It its kept clean, as far as I know, most of the time.
Yes, I would say if you do visit New Zealand, Hamilton Gardens is a place you must visit and it is free..
How many places are free in this world? There is quite a few places, but you now know about this place from me.
I took 2 Americans out for a drive on Auckland’s waterfront. There was a mother and daughter, the mother fell on the Auckland War Memorial steps and really injured herself. It was a terrible accident and she missed her package tour.
I got sent to help this woman and met her daughter as well.
I was really sorry to hear it and made a point of taking them for a drive just before they left. I wanted to show them more of NZ but time was against it.
I also hand painted T Shirts for them for “Original NZ Souvenirs!” I am quite disgusted with so called NZ souvenir shops because they are not really made nor served by NZ people
Go to a craft fair and meet the real NZ People. They and the souvenirs are real, not fake.
I have been to New Zealand but this place was not in our itinerary
