Visitor Reviews

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

Amazing gardens, Amazing people

I visited Woodside for a friend's wedding and was blown away by the beautiful gardens. I've lived in Hamilton for many years and can't believe I've never seen this place before. Les, the owner, gardener, host and self-proclaimed comedian hehe... was so accommodating and friendly. We loved the place so much that my fiancé and I will be back here next year to have our wedding too!

Thanks for having us!

A great find

We were part of a group of cyclists doing the Laughing Moa cycle trail, and it was suggested we stop and visit the garden on the way. It was a lovely spot to eat our packed lunches and hear about the history of the house and garden from Amanda. The garden is lovely, and Amanda and her dogs were wonderful and entertaining hosts. If you are doing the cycle trail, it's well worth a stop-off.

The perfect canvas for our day.

It was the perfect canvas for our day, and we couldn’t be happier. Helen and Dean, the new owners, were excellent communicators—passionate, attentive, and genuinely excited to share their venue with us.

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.

Akaroa in the rain

They are so good for the kids and adults it was like a world of wonder land with its hard worked products and tasty goods on the table. It might be made by hand, but you can tell it was worked on for months.

It is a must-see!
