I recently officiated a wedding at HUs at it was absolutely gorgeous! It was a beautiful day, the grounds were stunning, the venue flows seamlessly - indoor and out and the ceremony down on the water was very special. Countless photo opportunities and a very relaxed, lush and spacious setting for such a special occasion.

Christmas Celebration

Janene and the team went above and beyond to give our volunteers a wonderful afternoon. The grounds were stunning, and the food was wonderful; we couldn't be happier with the service we received! Thank you so much for supporting HMC; we so appreciate it.

Heartfelt thanks from both of us for the most magical weekend celebrating our "Happily Ever After". Nestled in the native bush at HUs Boutique Venue & Accommodation, our intimate ceremony with close family and friends was an absolute dream. You went above and beyond as our host, and we’re so grateful.  Check out our video reel on the HŪS website — it perfectly shows off the amazing venue and how well it accommodates a winter wedding. All our guests raved about the incredible location, magical setting, and fabulous all-round experience. We highly recommend HŪS to anyone looking for a stunning, intimate venue in Auckland.

Your amazing property.

I just wanted to thank you for allowing my twin sister and me to visit your amazing property last week. What an absolute inspiration and delight you are Judy. You’ve kept that dream alive after your dear husband passed and I think it’s keeping you going!! We so enjoyed the experience, swapping our funny gardening stories and seeing your beautiful garden. The photos don’t do it justice but I created a post on my own page, The Uralla Garden. Hope you don’t mind. I used some of the photos from your website but captioned them as such.

Hope you are well and once again thank you Judy

Splendid event

What a wonderful way to fund-raise for our Zonta Awards - a Garden Tea in a beautiful rose garden of one of our members. Thanks to Val Lott for her generosity in hosting us at her home. Our guests appreciated Val's generous sharing of her knowledge of her garden and the roses. Even though there was a mixture of sunshine and a little liquid sunshine, our guests really enjoyed the company, the delicious food, the ambiance of the afternoon and the background music by a talented young musician.

My daughter Maddy was married here last year.

"My daughter Maddy was married here last year. It was absolutely beautiful. Sharon thought of every detail, was so generous and caring. The gardens are spectacular- you won’t be disappointed 🌸🌸🌸"Catherine OConnell
"My daughter got married last month and I cannot recommend Paterson Park and Gardens highly enough! Sharon is truly the 'host with the most'! Nothing was a problem and on the day she was on deck making sure everything went perfectly. There's even a golf cart to ferry guests around! Thankyou Sharon for the most magical day 🥰"Paula Robertson
