Moondance Manor Gardens is a Waikato best keep secret, as one of our visitors commented; "Its visual banquet radiates English charm and beauty, this is what paradise must be like".

Located in Tamahere, between Hamilton and Cambridge, in the Waikato, the gardens are an easy drive from all major North Island locations.

Moondance Manor Gardens are extensively planted with abundant flower beds, expansive lawn areas, a wealth of native and exotic trees, a large ornamental pond and island, and substantial formal hedging – all set on over a hectare bordering the Waikato River.

Each season offers an exciting display from an abundance of spring flowers and blossoms to summer roses and perennials, to autumn's romantic colours.

Make your journey of discovery and take time to appreciate the many beautiful vistas or discover a contemplative moment in a secluded spot or amble down to the Waikato River and its woodland garden.

The jewel in the crown is, of course, the elegant two-story Edwardian Manor house which complements the grandeur of the garden and from which the terraced lawns, flower beds and many trees can be fully appreciated.

Jeanette and Stephen came to Tamahere in 1996 having elected to jump off the corporate conveyor and settle after their travels around the world.

Having always nurtured a garden wherever they lived as well as enjoying visiting many gardens on their journeys, it was perhaps destined that Jeanette and Stephen would become the stewards of Moondance Manor Gardens.

It is now our joy to harmonise with the seasons and help nature display its best in our little piece of paradise. The icing on the cake of this endeavour is our delight in being able to share our garden and our joy of gardening with our many visitors.
