Ayrlies Garden and Wetlands

#explorenewzealand spent nearly half a day exploring Ayrlies Garden, and it still didn’t feel like enough. Every section is unique and thoughtfully curated. The vibrant flower beds look like a painter’s palette, while the wetland area offers a serene escape surrounded by tall grasses and still water. I loved the subtle scent of flowers carried by the breeze—it made the experience feel even more immersive. The garden is both peaceful and invigorating, and perfect for photography lovers. It’s no wonder Ayrlies is considered a national treasure in New Zealand. #explorenewzealand
