Mahurangi College students visit Warkworth Oaks

Can you guess our favourite season at Remuera Gardens? Definitely spring — when the gardens burst into colour and fragrance, and the Rose Garden becomes the perfect spot to relax, enjoy the view, and catch up on the latest grandkid gossip. Our gardens are full of stories, and to celebrate the joy they bring to our residents, we’re hosting special Garden & Apartment Tours on Friday 5 December, with special guest Ruud “The Bug Man” Kleinpaste. Don’t miss out — it will be a day to remember!

Remuera Gardens is now in full bloom! Explore our eight acres of cottage and tropical gardens — including more than 150 varieties of roses and 150 varieties of camellias. Together with Kings Plant Barn, we invite you to our Garden & Apartment Tours, where you’ll discover the story behind our gardens, visit our brand-new Avenue Apartments, and enjoy a special talk from VIP guest Ruud Kleinpaste, the beloved “Bug Man.”

“Don’t overcomplicate it — go back to basics.” As part of our 40-year celebrations, residents and guests at Remuera Gardens enjoyed a wonderful morning with celebrity chef Michael Van de Elzen, who championed simple, joyful cooking. Held in The Pavilion — the vibrant social hub of our new Avenue Apartments — Michael shared practical tips and easy recipes perfect for everyday meals.
