Ayrlies Garden & Wetlands

Just 35 minutes from central Auckland, Ayrlies is one of New Zealand’s most celebrated gardens. Spread over 4 hectares of rolling lawns, cascading ponds and lush borders, it’s a serene escape where colour and texture shine. Wander through vibrant floral displays, sub-tropical plantings, and mature trees that frame views to the Hauraki Gulf. Connected to the sea by an expansive 14-hectare wetland and lake, Ayrlies is a peaceful haven for birds and nature lovers alike. A must-visit for garden enthusiasts and anyone seeking quiet beauty.
