MADDY’S GARDEN

There’s a wild beauty to Maddy’s garden.

Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Southern Alps, this landscape embraces its harsh climate with an eclectic mix of rugged New Zealand natives and hardy exotic species. The result is a garden that feels untamed yet intentional—playful, resilient, and deeply connected to its surroundings.

At the heart of the property sits the award-winning Cook House pavilion, a bespoke structure designed for gathering, cooking, and entertaining. It anchors the space and brings a sense of intimacy to the expansive setting. Designed with a young family in mind, the garden offers moments of adventure and discovery while remaining functional and robust enough to thrive in a challenging environment.
