The cafe serves all day breakfast with friendly staff. The seating capacity of the cafe is huge as it has indoor and outdoor dining. There is a small kids playground near the cafe where kids can enjoy. There is a bit of a walk from the cafe to the lavender farm. They sell lavender ice cream inside the farm and you can also do lavender picking. Recommend to come as early as you can to avoid the crowd as it gets busy around lunch time.

Beautiful place💜💜 went in early January and lavenders were amazing in their colour,smell and location. Well maintained. Easily can spend more than 2-3hours. Quite reasonable as well, paid $15. Good for photographs💜💜

D. K.

Nice lavender plantation with pretty nice view. Bring your best camera with you to capture the moment, you also get to take home a nice bunch of lavenders. Give the lavender soft-serve a try, you'd be surprised how pleasent it is. Nice day out for any family.

T. W.

Once again absolutely beautiful. The fields of lavender are truly breath taking & stunningto view. Thought the price at $ 15 was abit over the top to enter the fields but you fo get get to cut a bunch to take home, thought if you went to Cafe then this should be discounted maybe. But hoards of people still going through regardless. Great Cafe & good selection of food.

M. N.

Very large lavender farm. Best to visit when flowers in full bloom for the season. Walk across the entire field, relax under the trees. Food is not that great but farm visit ia must.

N.

Awesome place I would say. The entry fees is $15.00 per person (adult), which I felt is not bad for the experience you get there. They have got ample of parking space. The lavender farm is beautiful, buzzing with bees, at first you’re like ‘OMG Bees!’ but then you get used to it. They mind their own business. As soon as you’re nearing the farm you can smell the scent of lavender in the air; rich and aromatic. It’s good place for photography. I would recommend going there early, as it gets really hot if it’s Sunny. I would say going there early before 10 would be good, I went there around 11, even though I enjoyed thoroughly, got badly sunburnt in just a few minutes. There are places to sit in the shade too. Lavender ice-cream is a must try, unique taste, it’s different, but each to their own. You get to cut a bunch of lavender per person and you get to take it home. Didn’t try the cafe due to low ratings but may try next time 😊

I went here yesterday to take part in the end of season "cut your own" tour. I can honestly say it is SO worth it! It's $15 per person, and you are given a large paper bag and scissors to fill up with as much as you can. There is also an option (included in your ticket price) to have it turned into lavender oil. My Nana and I visited as we were wanting to cut it and bring it home to use for my upcoming wedding. My Nana is in her 80's and uses a walker to get around and the man on the ticket desk was concerned she wouldn't get down to the field - so he offered to personally drive her down in his car!! It was so thoughtful. Once he got her down there, he told us to just speak to the men at the shed and they will radio him and he will come collect her and bring her back up the top to the main carpark. We were so grateful. He was such a lovely guy (I think he was the manager) and he was telling us all about the operations and their plans to offer more activities next summer. The cutting experience was lovely. There was still plenty of good flowers available, and we quickly filled up our bags. We were also given two mini bottles of oil for free as we were keeping our lavender to use ourselves. I highly recommend coming here for a visit. We will be back again to check out the cafe (which has gorgeous views over the fields) and will definitely be back next summer around new years to check out the gorgeous purple bloom!

I came to visit here in the early stage before the entry pass is required. I was quite impressed with this huge lavender farm. The café was over crowded during that time, and didn't have enough toilet. Hopefully it's all sorted.

B. U.

The lavender farm is a bit far but it is quite an interesting place to visit. There are signs to help guide your way from the motorway. There is plenty of parking once you head down the driveway. You are able to go to the cafe for food or visit the farm itself. We started at the cafe since we were wanting to try the lavender ice cream. They normally don't sell the ice cream at the cafe since the machine is down on the fields but they were kind enough to do it for us that day. The ice cream did arrive a bit melted but that was expected due to the trip it had to take. The ice cream was quite smooth and had a subtle lavender flavour which was nice. We also tried the cronut which was ok. The cafe had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating as well as an indoor play area for smaller kids and an outdoor playground for the larger ones. The $15 entry into the lavender farm included picking the lavender and getting fresh lavender oil from it. You can see a patio at the cafe which overlooks the farm. You head down into the fields and to the right there are some buildings. Here you can grab a bag and scissors to pick the lavender with. The lavender ice cream is also available here as well as some hot food, under tree seats and toilets. The picking was interesting since it required cutting the branches. The rows of lavender were huge. They did seem a bit dried out though so the lavender scent wasn't very strong in the fields. It was a nice experience walking along the multiple rows of lavender and watching the bees go bout buzzing away. There is a shaded area near the fields where you are able to rest under some sails if you do get tired. It was a unique experience. It probably would have looked nicer (but hotter) on a sunny day.

j. m.

A very large lavender farm and divided into multiple plots, therefore you could enjoy personal space either taking photos or video. Adequate parking space with attendant to guide you. Helpful staff at the cashier counter. Large patches of lavender field for the Cut Your Own lavendars to take home which is included in your entry fee. Resting area is beautiful as we enjoy drinks, food or an ice cream.

V. E.

Amazing hidden lavender farm, cute large area for lavender picking. They make the oil at site, enjoy a lavender ice cream or food at the Cafe while they make it. Highly recommended!

H. H.

Cool place for a visit. Must get very busy in summer. Season is important so make sure you plan accordingly. Entry was a bit expensive but you get to pick lavender and bring home some oil which was fun.

V. M.

It's a lovely lavender farm. There, you can spend some quality time. The calm and relaxing effect of the sunshine and cool breeze cannot be overstated. It's a sight to behold and a must-see in New Zealand.

s. m.

Fantastic experience!!! Staff amazing!! Lavender ice cream to die for. Fresh pancakes were divine. The smell of lavender superb. I rate that s farm ten out of ten!!!

V. H.

It’s a great idea to visit this lavender farm with family and friends. Beautiful & fun, don’t forget to grab a lavender Ice-cream!

Z. S.

Just wow.we all love the experience. We had coffee there in cafe,it was perfect and lavender farm was just beautiful. You can also buy lavender icecream and theres a resting area too in lavender farm.

T. H.

Beautiful farm and friendly staffs. The entrance toward the farm from the cafe is quite bumpy so I could not use pram but the farm itself is okay to use with pram. $15 for adult entrance is abit pricey but I am happy with free lavender picking that they offered.

a. b.

I would say it’s the place which should be explored by everyone. Lush purple lavender farm with ample of car park and a nice cafe. $15 entry fee is a bit pricey but the views inside the farm is amazing. Lavender ice cream is a must must try and definitely you will regret it if you don’t try that. Best time to go is early morning as after 10, it gets really hot.

C. J.

Very good to visit for rest and lavender icecream. So many bees in the lavender farm but we get used to it eventually.

N. N.

Nice place but I think we choose the wrong time to go there . Coffee shop is very nice , coffee is good but the hot chocolate was very sweet , the deserts are good but kind of expensive. The farm was empty no one there , also we think we will find animals but unfortunately there were nothing. We will try to visit this place in summer.

H. W.

We had a large group including four toddlers and three bigger kids. The food and coffee turned up quickly, was well presented and tasted great. Indoor and outdoor playgrounds allowed the kids to burn off some energy. Will return. Highly recommend.

L. B.

Beautiful setting and largely layout of the cafe which is great for groups with a bit of privacy. Disappointed in the food. I tried the Chicken Burger and was very disappointed in the quality of the chicken meat and overall presentation and taste of the food. However will come back during Lavender flowering season and try something different from the breakfast menu instead.

R. K.

Beautiful lavender farm, it’s huge, best time to visit here in December

C.

Went to this beautiful lavender again and a bit early this year as I still remember how busy it was last Summer. Some nice additions in the farm incl a new playground for kids. Food and coffee from the cafe are still nice. They also sell ice cream and hotdog inside the farm. Love their lavender ice cream! You get charged to enter into lavender fields now but the price is quite reasonable at $15.

J. F.

Café is great, lavender is pretty but a little expensive. Good parking and friendly staff.

L. W.

Beautiful farm and the cafe there serves amazing ice cream

K.

Very beautiful lavender fields where you can pick your own bunch. The ice cream is amazing! Friendly people and good service. We had a really good experience.

E. I.

What a lovely place. Food was fantastic and the staff are really friendly. Great place the take the kids. I bought some lavender oil which smells amazing. Will definitely come back. 🙂

A.

The lavender ice cream is the unique one, It’s not like ordinary ice cream, it is not usual. some people may taste it quite different, but it is very yummy and will give u a different concept of ice cream. Try it， discover a new world. Love it. Very creative.

A. P.

Beautiful fields. There is a cost to enter the farm $15 for adults $12 for children over 10 years. I didn’t see cost mentioned on their site. Food at cafe presented nicely, abit expensive, taste is ok. There isn’t even a discount offered for dining customers for the lavender farm. Nice for 1 visit only. Lavender ice cream is yum.

A. B.

What a neat place, cafe great seating lots of it and not close together- inside and outside playground(inside for three year olds and younger) plus viewing area for the lavender Food yum! Looking forward to going back

A. B.

Enjoyed the lavender farm and scenery though entrance fee of $15.00 is a bit high. Had brunch at their cafe food is alright. Would recommend place for photography purposes.

A. L.

The place is great and offers a wonderful lavender scenery. The crowd could be enormous, though. The farm has a very big car park but the line of visitors' cars waiting to enter is stretching out so far. It's a narrow rd and must be a pain for the locals. The cafe was heavily occupied on Sunday but on the bright side there's no entry fee to see the lavender fields. It's worth a visit but be prepared for heavy crowds and busy parking.

E. C.

Wow! Incredible!!! You don't need to fly all the way to south island for lavender anymore. Right here in Auckland south you get to enjoy the beauty of the purple world! Lavender sea is shining under the sunshine. Bees are flying around to harvest making honey. Get your self a cup of coffee with tasty foods at the entrance cafe. Try the fried chicken and Angus hamburger they are good. Only, you have to wait for the service, better book your seats and foods in advance. This is the most talked internet hit spot recently. Only open to welcome visitors in recent months, still free of entrance fee!!! Take the advantage and bring your camera go for a day trip!

J. C.

This is a lovely place to have a coffee while the kids play between the indoor and outdoor play areas. The food and coffee is nice, a little pricey but good quality. Leaves you feeling happy but not "wow". Café doesn't include entrance to the lavender farm.

A. S.

Beautiful lavender farm great food selection and extremely busy. Great parking has toilet facilities. Beautiful walk through the lavender farm 💜 loved it. Great place for a photo shoot. Big thumbs up.

D. M.

Free entry & plenty of parking onsite. This is a very popular attraction but don't let the crowds numbers deter you from seeing the amazing lavender fields. Bring a hat, sunscreen & plenty of water. Highly recommend.

B. J. R.

Had breakfast after the Lavander farm walk. Place was packed but managed to secure seats. It was quite a wait understandably but was good and will recommend to friends.

C. L.

Very friendly service and nice food, the lavender field is gorgeous. You have to try the lavender ice cream, it tastes nice.

S. F.

Beautiful Gem! The Cafe was very nice. Staff were really lovely. The Lavender Farm was stunning though the bright purple flowers all gone it was still a sight to see. Definitely would like to revisit once they bloom again.

E.

Lovely experiencein the farm and lavender ice cream is a must try.. but you would want to get there eary coz it's mostly packed with people. And if you want to grab a bite..you need to wait for a long time. The food was pretty average.

K. K.

Lovely place, entry was free, ample of parking, nice location. Lavender farm was big, offering wonderful opportunity to click great pics. Cafe offers tasty food options

J. L.

Went to the lavender field. I probably went too late, most of the beautiful purple was gone but it was still a beautiful sight to behold, walking amongst a sea of lavender. The smell was heavenly and relaxing. Definitely recommend. Didn't get to try the cafe, perhaps next time 😁

S.

Good place to take beautiful photos in natural Lavender world.

S. L.

Food price is a bit higher, but taste good. Entry fee $15, can take away a bunch of lavender, consider reasonable. Relaxing environment, worth for a visiting.

J.

Wonderful place for picking lavender. Very picturesque. Shame about hard/stale bread buns, cold sausages, terrible ice cream and slow af uncoordinated service at the food outlets. Basically dont buy the food as it was very frustrating, otherwise a great spot for the kids to visit.

D. S.

Fantastic location, lots of space, clean, spacious interior. Service friendly, seems efficient, even when busy. There's an outdoors chess board, kids play area, and a short stroll to a lookout over the lavender fields. Coffee was nice, scone awful, flaky, chewy, served on a dinner plate, with knife and fork! Other food coming out looks good, judging by the people next to me taking 5 mins worth of photos of it. Many people wander to the fields for the obligatory selfy. There is some outdoor seating, I'm sure over time as plants mature, it will be used for larger groups. Staff, and 90 percent of the punters were Asian, and loud. This may annoy some people who can't handle other tongues, doesn't bother me. It's a nice drive to get there, and the lavender fields, at least, are peaceful, and serene, nice for a sunny Sunday afternoon.

R. G.

Lavender farm with free entry currently. The cafe was not bad although nothing fancy. The lavender farm was quite big and worth a visit

H.

Wow what beautiful peaceful cafe great for a little me time. Had a lovely eggs benedict with hand made hollandaise sauce!!! definitely will be back Staff were friendly

R. C. L.

The lavender hill is amazing! The coffee had a long waiting line and no food because the lot of people visit the place. The place is simple and nice.

M. N.

Went for the first time late in the season. The purple has transformed into a dusky gray, yet the smell lingers, bringing another dimension to the beauty of the place. The manager was eloquent and explained that the flowers would be harvested soon and the oil extracted. Then we long for the cycle of the season to change before the colours and fragrance to return later in spring. The cafe is immaculate. Whether it stays open over the autumn and winter without the eye catching outdoor appendages.......will be the next chapter to this stunning floral farm.

S. K.

Awesome place to see Lavender. It's built with car park and cafe. Only suggestion is that the rock pebbles needs changing to make way for prams.

J. T.

Beautiful lavender fields with plenty of room even for a crowd. Really hope they will develop a more organised parking area eventually. Was keen to try out their cafe but was overcrowded the day I visited. Perhaps another day.

J. L.

+ Free Entry, Lavender field + There is a cafe + Not far from Auckland - Long queue in cafe during public holiday, long wait for the food

a. p.

Beautiful place the walkway in fields.interior design of cafe inside is very nice .The green and red smoothies was super.must visit place highly recommended

S. H.

Row upon row of purple lavender flowers is a beautiful thing to see, and looking at the number of people we saw today its a popular place. The cafe at the entrance makes it even better. Check this place out you will enjoy it.

J. L.

Friendly staff, warm and welcoming, beautiful sea of lavender. Would love to visit again

n. i.

Such a beautiful and peaceful place to go...Clicked so much photos in my phone. ..best place to visit with family and u find good cafe overthere.

N.

The service was next level amazing. The food was delicious and the lavendae oil is phenomenal. Such a wonderful experience. Can't recommend it enough

J.

Both cafe and lavender field are very busy. The lavender field can be called lavender sea, very large. It’s a good day to hanging out in the lavender field nature.

E. W.

Worth a visit as its so close to Auckland. Cafe seems to always has a queue.

V. P.

Awesome place with lovely outdoor area for kids to run around. The cafe food was good , however would like to see gluten free options as they didn’t cater for it .

N. Z.

A must visit. Nice cafe and pyo lavender

M. D.

Its built to cover the seasonal demand for end of spring and early summer when the lavender is at its most attractive. Layout of seating arrangements very good, so although you are in a big space you have your own personal space to eat in, when we visited business was just ticking over, but we had good service and we enjoyed our food. Sure its a great asset for the local community.

T.

Stunning beautiful views of long rows of the lavenders, relaxing scent, fun picking experience for kids (& adults!), yummy lavender soft serve, delicious foods at their cafe with lovely ambience, playgrounds for kids to enjoy, ... our family and friends had a fab day out on the lavender farm ~

D. H.

Great open space, beautiful gardens, super friendly staff. Can’t wait till level 2 to come back

J. H.

Always good but a small suggestion that would make it a 5 star, some sort of relish with the breakfast options and home made hash browns instead of the commercially bought ones.

B.

Great venue and space. Lots of people doing the lavender farm walk. Food was good, but a bit $$$ for what it was.

N. K.

It was really nice place. Yummy ice cream, unique seating in between lavender gardens and and nice view.

G.

An hour drive from Auckland, it is worth the visit. Adult ticket is $15, great spot for people who loves to take photos.

D.

Good service, nice menu, not such a great selection of cabinet food.

M.

Lavender Farm is great, however, the cafe food is average and over priced. As expensive as an inner city cafe but not the same quality.

B. L.

Great place to hang around with family. If you are in Auckland this is the closest lavender farm.

G. G. a. T.

FREE ENTRANCE!!! Accomodating staff and the place is amazing and not far from Auckland Central.

I. M.

One place to visit if ur in Auckland, foods are good too.

R. Z.

As noted by other visitors, this place seemed chaotic during popular times. When we visited, there was a substantial queue at the entrance. Here are things you might want to know: 1. If you're here to eat/drink indoor, you'll need queue outside during busy time. 2. If you're here to eat/drink but not indoor, then cut the queue outside and line up inside by the cashier. 3. If you're here to enjoy the lavender goodness, then go straight through the building and enjoy the spectacle. There's no air conditioning in the building, so it's not too comfortable to eat indoor during hot days. There were several groups who brought their own kai and ate under trees. Even though we visited during a busy time frame, the lavender farm is quite huge - you can take great dating prospect pics without others in your frame. P.s. Bee aware - there are A LOT of friendly bees working hard on the lavenders. Don't disturb them, and they won't disturb you.

C. N.

Beautiful place for a spot of lunch definitely going back in spring when everything is in full bloom

R. G.

Great place for taking photographs, not sure that I liked having to queue to order food, no table service, very off putting

M.

Stunning! Great play area for kids. Highly recommend.

Q.

The farm is beautiful. Perfect for all ages. Pretty close to visit from the city and nearby neighborhood. View is incredible, all those purple 💜 natural beauty. We got there on a beautiful Sunday at 10sh, the cafe bar was full, didn't get the chance to grab anything. We'll come back for sure and try the cafe earlier.

n. w.

The food was presented beautifully and the location is 100/100!!! The food was a little bit average tasting. The sliders needed more flavor, either seasoning or sauce and the creamy mushrooms seemed abit undercooked and not much cream to them with the size toast you got. I would come back here purely for the beautiful and quiet scenery.

D.

Beautiful place where you can see lavender field. Parking management can be improved. Highly recommended.

K.

Lovey food, beautiful venue - will be back when lavender is in bloom

M.

Please can we have some seating in the different areas. I love the lavender picking and lavender icecream and cafe.

r.

The best Lavender farm in North Island I've ever known. Dont miss out your beautiful moments at the farm. Go immediately and enjoy guys.

B. D.

Lovely Lavender farm experience, nice cafe...Had a lovely time with friend and his family 👪 l

n.

Gorgeous rustic Cafe with padded indoor play area for under 3s and outside area for older kids. Loved the viewing platform over the lavender fields. Top marks for food too. We will be back!

H. H.

Absolutely beautiful field of Lavenders. The place has a cafe open for the public and family friendly... highly recommend.

L.

Great place for family fun, very beautiful, especially if you like taking photos. :)

V. W.

Amazing food at the cafe and a AwEsOmE lavender farm experience. Nice little drive from Auckland CBD.

D.

Nice food at the café, and it was nice walking around all the lavenders.

S.

Food in the Cafe is very good and the staff are very attentive. Lovely outlook over the Manukau Harbour.

G. L.

Beautiful lavender farm and cafe, highly recommended!

M. L.

I think we had just missed the amazing purple scenary. But still an awesome place to take your family for an afternoon out. Reading the reviews of the food, we must of missed something.. The food was a bit lackluster for its price. The eggs benedict was good - nicely poached eggs. But unfortunately the bacon was very dry. The sour dough in both items was dry and hard to eat. But a good workout for your jaws. The other item we brought was from the breakfast menu. I'll let the pictures describe to you the experience.

T. N. Z.

Beautiful place to visit. Nice cafe though not much choice for vegetarians.

C. K.

I've been there yesterday. Wow, I can't believe that we finally have a big organic Lavender farm at Auckland. I've been France, Japan and Australia and visited their lavender farm. I can see here people's effort in making the farm, so amazing place! Hope visitors enjoy and respect the environment.

H. C.

The actual farm was nice and I enjoyed walking amongst the lavender farm. There was lots of bees (if you’re allergic to bees I would not suggest going). The inside of the cafe appears nice but the food was terrible. I could have brought my KFC along and it would have tasted better..

C.

Very polite staff and fast service, but the food was below average quality. Wouldn't eat there again because of that. Arrived too late in the season unfortunately to see the lavender in full bloom. Make sure you know when it is in full bloom before you go.

Z.

Food and prices were average to say the least. However, the customer service was impeccable. Special shoutout to the manager, Di, who was amazing. Not one minute elapsed without Di passing by to attend to another customer. Lavender farm was beautiful but the novelty wears off quickly since it's just lavenders. A few bees here and there but nothing to worry about. As you might imagine, it gets quite hot towards midday so make sure to arrive early to see the flowers.

R.

The cafe is big and beautiful ten points

P.

Lovely lavender farm. Great for photos. Also you can have meals in the cafe

O.

Beautiful flowers, very nice place to see.

B. M.

My family and I went to the lavender farm to take photos of my younger sister for her class photo they turned out very well, loved the lavender farm We also decided to get some food while we were there I ordered the fish and chips But I received a old hard piece of fish that tasted horrible. It tasted terrible I didn’t know what it was but I knew it was not hoki which is what the owner claimed it to be. I sent it back and got a replacement that tasted much better 👍 He was very apologetic about it and kind Very approachable also

V. F.

Nice, New clean environment. Food was okay but service was extremely slow for a Cafe that wasn't even full or busy. But the complimentary drink and fresh orange juice was a welcome surprise to make up for the slow food to arrive. Ordered 3 mains, finished 2 and waiting for one, took more than 30 mins for the 3rd to come after we finished the first two.

N.

What a beautiful lavander farm in Auckland! Enjoy dinning in the farm cafe, nice food and coffee, friendly service. I came at around 1pm today, cafe staff were all working hard to serve customers in a long queue . But I still had to wait for 50 mins to get my meals. A friendly staff suggests a bit quiet during weekday. Will definitely visit here again on a weekday next time.

G. H.

Not good if you have a pushchair or have residents that need to use walkers as the path from their cafe is loose river stones and gravel. Easy to roll an ankle and hard for the elderly to manage. Otherwise nice place !

F. W. L.

Great little day trip out for the family. However, suggest to just skip having a meal there as food was very average and overpriced. However I guess they have to find ways to make some money since visiting the lavender farm is free.

I. B.

It was a windy day but this place has all the makings of being one of the restful Cafe's in auckland. Food was freshly made and good service. Had pleasant chat with a knowledgeable staff member on how the business was started. Great place for a quiet lunch.

W.

Nice cafe, beautiful view, yummy ice cream!

J.

Great food and garden 👍👍👍, though the lavander field opens next week.

S.

Lavender has discoloured due to the scorching sun I believe.. would have looked

T.

Food is yummy and service is fast. However, I was a bit disappointed. I was thinking the cafe has a lavender farm view while you eat. There is a lavender farm indeed but you need to walk for 2-3 mins to see it.

J.

Yum smoothies at the cafe and the lavender fields smelled amazing!

D. K.

Its a pleasant experience. Things would have been better if the owners could have shared at least weekly updates of the status of the blossom. But overall a peaceful experience.

p.

Once you have been in the Lavender Garden, the first experience was the fresh air of the lavender fragrance and beautiful lavender flowers. Occasionally you can see bee flying among the lavender flowers for the job that they usually do it for daily routine.

R. F.

Smells so good and well maintained. Food was yum! Thanks to the lovely staff who gave us the last table for the day. 😉 Excited to come back and see new facilities!

R.

Great location and we'll setup for the kids, coffee was good too. Pity the savory I ordered was stale and unedable.

C.

Lovely place .. so warm in the conservatory on a cold day.. I had the Creamy Mushrooms..they were so delicious.. yum

r.

Beautiful place for family and nice Cafe

C.

Lovely place, bur booking essential when hungry 😊

H. M.

Was a gr8 sight to see n smell the lavenders.. lovely drive to the site once you get to karaka rural, Cafe was very busy ,long wait for everything.. not their fault, just the crowd was too much ..

R.

Some people just so selfish by bring his drone and keep flying around the field…what a D…

I.

Stunning place, great setup and really nice Cafe. Great area for kids to play. Beautiful lavender farm.

J. P. T.

wonderful place. I will come back here again.

E. L.

Just two weeks after its opening, the environment is very clean. Since the restaurant was a stable before, there are horse-specific decorations in some small details after the decoration. The lavender grassland is beautiful.

M. G.

A good Lavender farm. In summer make sure to use sun cream or get ready for sun burn. You also have a cafe to relax after your photoshoot.

B.

Really nice cafe, food good value, Good staff. Not a lot to see re the Lavender, unfortunately they only take booking via social media, very hard to contact by phone.

M.

food was really great. manager and staff both helpful and accommodating

V. N.

The sheer size of the field was amazing and if I were there when the lavender was in full bloom it would be a sight to behold and the cafes food was great as well

R.

Beautiful place to visit..

K.

Has a nice cafe and small kids play area. The lavendar fields are a beauty. Great for photos.

S.

Love this place! The kids love the addition of the new playground and were surprised to find an easter egg each! Made their day!

H.

Nice place and alots foods and sauvenier.

N.

Amazing food, check it out.

R.

Beautiful farm and delicious food.

V. S.

Great place to visit with friends and family. The Lavender farm is filled with bees and the cafe always as a long line.

m.

Nice place to take family out for a day 👍

A. Q.

Friendly owners and staff. Food was bought out to us super quick and was very yummy. Highly recommend.

P.

Amazing fields and lovely Cafe .. Great destination for a day out with family and friends and at such a beautiful location.. Not too far too .. Loved it

J.

Nice place. Good picturesque view.

L.

Food not good but view is ok..

Amazing and fragrant lavander flowers.

V.

Wonderful place to visit once. So kind people allowing people for free and visit. Their beautiful farm. Thank you 💞

G.

Nice a little pricey in these times but enjoyed the coffee

S.

Very nice place!!

L.

It was really fun

A.

it's ok but once more established..they may consider better access to the viewing platform and exit way from the premises. not suitable for all

k.

Nice place. Will visit again

z.

Good Place to spend your weekend

i.

Gardens very good ... Sure worth a visit .. but stay away from the Cafe/Restaurant so disorganized , wait times of 45mins just to be served just not good .....

L.

Lovely setting and nice food. Great addition to Karaka. Will be back!

d.

A big lavender manor, and it is free, completely free. This is the most beautiful check-in location for internet celebrities in Auckland.

L.

Too busy for us to try the cafe but the lavender fields were beautiful.

P.

Beautiful place for relaxing and nice smoothies and very friendly staff. Definitely recommend

T.

A sea of purple which makes you happy :)

W. W.

(Translated) The lavender garden is very big and beautiful~ But I don't recommend the cafe inside at all. The food is at the level of my own home cooking. I order the drink and wait until the staple food is finished... A bit speechless. The price of the cafe is not cheap. The entrance ticket to the lavender garden is 15 a Adults can understand and also provide ✂️You can cut a handful of lavender and take it home ~ the farm experience is very good👍 (Original) 薰衣草园非常大 非常美～但完全不推荐里面的cafe，食物就是自己家里做的水平 点了喝的也是活生生等到了吃完了主食才上…有点无语 cafe价位也不便宜 薰衣草园入场门票15一成人可以理解 还提供✂️可以剪一把薰衣草带回家～农厂体验很好👍

(Translated) 3 stars for Lavender Garden I gave a bad review to the cafe. Before I came, I specifically called in advance to ask about the cafe's operating requirements, but I didn't answer the phone, there was a long queue after arriving, and I didn't inform the requirement of "no immunization report, no entry into the cafe". My wife and I have VaccinePass, the elderly The child has not yet, so I can only order takeaway, but I waited for half an hour, and it was not ready. I asked the Asian girl at the front desk three times, and the reply was sorry not ready, I will double check (not actually checked), and finally One was replying to nearly..., but I watched their chefs put the dine-in food that had been on the plate for a long time into the packing box, (omit the Chinese communication between them, I heard them all) The wife was not satisfied I complained once in the past and got a reply: "have you got your Vaccine Pass scanned? Please go out to get scanned..." Your company's cafe's customer service level and operation management are really uncomplimentable. Sonoko is still worth visiting in the future, but I really won't come back to the cafe to see my face. (Original) 3颗星给薰衣草园 差评给cafe，来之前特意提前打电话询问cafe的运行要求，但不接电话，到达后排长队，也没有告知“没有免疫报告不让进cafe”的要求，我和太太有VaccinePass，老人孩子还没有，于是只能点takeaway，结果等了半个小时，还没有ready，三次询问前台亚裔小女孩，得到的回复依次是sorry not ready，I will double check （实际并没有check），最后一次是回复nearly…，然而我全程在旁边看着他们后厨把放在盘子里半天没人领的堂食放进打包盒，（他们之间中文交流省略吧，我都听到了）太太不满意过去投诉了一次，结果得到回怼：“have you got your Vaccine Pass scanned？Please go out to get scanned….”贵公司cafe的客服水平以及运营管理实在是不敢恭维。园子以后还是值得来，但是真心不会再来cafe看脸色了。

(Translated) Found a new place to chill. The coffee there is great. Love the Latte art. I shall revisit in 2 weeks while the lavender is in its best blossom. The nearest lavender manor to Auckland, the coffee is well made, and the lavender is also of standard . A place not to be missed by the appearance party (Original) Found a new place to chill. The coffee there is great. Love the Latte art. I shall revisit in 2 weeks while the lavender is in its best blossom. 离奥克兰最近的薰衣草庄园了，咖啡打得不错，拉花也有水准。外貌党不可错过的一处
