If you like seeing Kiwi in the wild, then you HAVE to do this tour Ness is amazingly knowledgeable about the region and the animals within. We saw two that night and one of them walked right across the path in front of us. To see them that close was a truly special experience.

Very special experience! Kind of like hiking but the first time at night that everything feels so different. There was about 20 minutes easy walkway before entering the forest. Three kiwi birds were found and many other lovely creatures. The tour guide lady was very experienced and nice. Great and strongly recommended!

Would highly recommend the tour Ness has very informative and the best tour guide ever she spotted kiwi’s throughout different stages of the walk we were so lucky to see them as sometimes you don’t very pleasant she even makes you hot choc and homemade cookies thanks a bunch Ness xx

An incredible experience, from start to finish! Matakana Estate is a gorgeous winery set in a breath-taking part of Auckland. Perfect for complete beginners or those with some good wine knowledge, everyone will finish the experience having learned something new. Our wine expert Serenity couldn't have been more lovely and helpful throughout the blending experience, and the entire team was so nice. Throughout the process you are constantly tasting a variety of delicious wines, exploring your creative side and having heaps of fun. When it's all said and done you'll leave with gems of wine know-how, plenty of laughs and your own customized, unique bottle of wine that you blended yourself! Bonus- we ordered food while we were there and it was delicious, I would recommend arriving a bit early to enjoy some of their excellent kai (beef sliders and truffle fries were yum!). Give this experience a go, you won't regret it!

This was incredible. So informative and so much fun! Beautiful setting. Amazing value for the experience. Would reccommend this 100 times over!

Lovely venue with views out over the countryside, greeted with a lovely welcome, everything was already setup and ready to go. It started with a lesson on tasting and sampling some of the wines (which was really useful) and then went on to the experimenting of blending the wines - Super friendly, knowledgable and helpful team there. Really recommend - and the platters available are also great!

We had tasty plates to share, squid, pork tacos and the new country pizza. Although the plates looked small, they actually are very filling and we didn't finish everything. The must have--rhubarb tonic for the cocktails is also a pretty pink drink one will surely enjoy. Thumbs up for Smiths!

We shared 5 dishes and all were lovely

Good food, service and ambience

This is an amazing place to visit. We love every minute from the start to finish. We took our daughters 8 and 10yrs who equally loved it. A highlight was feeding the rabbits. Alot of time and money has been spent here. Thank you so much, we'll be back soon.

A wonderful eclectic collection of sculptures abd art both indoors and out. Wonderful gardens and settings.

We had a fabulous experience with Sculptureum . The ticketing process was easy . On arrival parking spaces were plentiful despite holiday crowds .The meet and greet hostess was exceptional ,delightful and most helpful . We asked for a wheelchair and this was provided with a smile despite the busy reception desk . The gardens were stunning and immaculate and very wheelchair friendly . The art gallery was amazing and full of surprises . Thank you Book me for making it possible ! Totally recommend this !

If you are planing to spend a day outside and see some cool stuff, I highly recommend this place.

Highly recommended! Very peaceful place and healing place, balancing all senses. The art collection, the nature, the staff …everything is in a harmony Thank you for sharing your treasure with us

Something for everyone. Really good value with a bookme discount but would have paid more and it would still be good value entertainment. We hadn't planned to stay for food or drink but decided to have a wine and bite to eat - the service was great and the staff were friendly and flexible to serve us between lunch and dinner. Something different in Matakana! Well worth a visit.

This was one of my favourite day experience, it’s brilliantly done. I only wish we’d had more time so that we could have eaten lunch too There something for everyone

At first I wasn't sure whether it would be worth the entrance fee, but from the moment we walked in we were blown away. The art is fun, vibrant and so very well presented and in such a unique way. Its the way art should be. Fun! As we walked through it continued to be equally as great all the way to the end. We brought my mum for her 65th birthday and had 2 kids, 1 and 4 with us. Everyone had a great time. Finished off at freddies with a delicious gelato bowl. The art collection is incredible and we will be recommending it to everyone!

I love this place and arts. We wanna go and see more and more , thanks. Excellence , lovely.

Had a wonderful time here. Could possibly get a bit more signage on where to buy tickets or the entrance is. Some stunning artworks. A lovely walk to experience different points of view. Inspirational quotes. Loved the snails. Great for old and young.

A huge thank u to the owners and staff of this magnificent art collection. Impressive!

Amazing! Loved it!!! Went for the sculptures and art and was very impressed. So refreshing to have fun pieces displayed in a fabulous setting. Very original and much needed alternative cultural experience for New Zealand. Book me made this more affordable for us. Cheers 👍

What a surprise find near Matakana. The outside gardens and sculptures are beautifully curated. You also have the stunning inside art galleries with a diverse range of art. We visited on a winters day and it was still stunning- we will have to return during the other seasons to see it all again.

This was our 3rd visit and still enjoyed every moment wandering around the beautifully designed and landscaped grounds scattered with sculptures from many different artists. After a quick drinks break in the restaurant, Rothko, we continued our journey through the galleries where even more wonderment can be found to enjoy. This is a day out where you really don’t want to rush! We will be back!!

Awesome

A special place to visit with a beautifully planned, planted garden. To walk through and see the sculptures within these settings. On top of your garden walk. You enter a stunning set of Art galleries. With incredible art works to see. A super place to visit. A lovely restaurant. Whose staff were so lovely, catering for my small Grandchildren. Umbrellas available if the weather changes. Incredibly well designed, well thought out. Easy parking. Well worth the visit. My second time here and just as enjoyable, as the first.

Great n peaceful...gud family outing

Lots to see and interesting discussions with the kids on how art is interpreted. Kids haa sax be asked to go again

The Sculptureum is a really cool place to visit, the full price had put me off a bit but bookme's price was great. There are heaps of things to look at, it takes a while to work around. Us adults enjoyed it as much as our 2 year old.

Well worth a visit for extensive selection of sculptures inside and outside. Friendly staff and great facilities.

First time visitor and will definitely be visiting this place again. Super exceded all expectations. The sculptures, some quite funny. The walk around the gardens is so tranquil.
