If
you are in Auckland and feel the need to have a bit of a
chill out then we can thoroughly recommend the Wintergarden
in the Domain.
The
Domain is a lovely place to stroll and is, of course, home
to the exceptional Auckland
War Memorial Museum.
And
just down the road from the War Memorial Museum is the beautiful
Wintergarden.
It
was built after World War I and consists of two display
glasshouses, a formal courtyard and a calming fernery.
One
glasshouse contains temperate plants, while the other displays
tropical varities. Both are visually stunning and will even
have non-gardeners ooo-ing and aaah-ing.
Photographers
will love a trip to the Wintergardens as its heritage-protected
buildings are pretty funky to get images of.
Entry
to the delightful Wintergarden is free.
