HAMILTON GARDENS
Read moreHamilton is famous for its beautiful gardens of 54 hectares, composed according to different themes: "Roses", "China", "Italy", and others. It is an opportunity for pleasant walks along the river or Lake Rotoroa. The team of this botanical garden focuses on different cultures of the last 4,000 years. More than gardens, they are true places of expression. This public garden is a historical place itself, once housing a shooting range, a dog training ground, a sand pit and a go-karting track. A café is on site.
GARDENS AND VIEWPOINTS
Read moreFrank Kitts Park is very pleasant. You will have the most beautiful views of the capital (night and day) from Tinakori Hill. The view will probably be better from Hawkins Hill to the south, near which a wind turbine was built as part of a "modern" experimental electricity plan (giant wind turbine). Finally, from Mount Victoria, the panorama on the city, the Hutt Valley and the Cook Strait is incoutournable.
