Beautifully located in the small resort town ‘of Akaroa’ on the South Island, The Giant’s House is an award-winning marvel conceptualized by Josie Martin, tuning a fine contrast between a garden and an art home.
Hurling pleasant surprises at every turn and corner as one steers their way through the garden, it is nothing short of a paradise for an art lover. The most eye-catching attractions of the garden are the beautifully crafted terrace gardens, mosaiced steps, an elegant sculptural wall mosaic, welded steel sculptures and a magnificent art gallery. The garden also houses the ‘Artist Palate’ café that serves lip-smacking delicacies and afternoon teas to the guests. Luncheons can also be prebooked for large group visitors. The café is open in the summers and closed in winter. Also certified as a ‘Garden of International Significance’, The Giant’s House holds 6 stars owing to its jaw-dropping sculpture and colourful gardens growing different vegetables, fruits, flowers and herbs.
