 The Gardens – An Insight into a Bygone Era
A stroll around the grounds gives the visitor a few clues into the pioneering
lifestyle enjoyed
by the Elworthy’s. Down near the river is the remains of the old tennis
court, for many
years the social centre for the family, just beyond it, over the fence,
the old propagation
house, where the seedlings for today's massive trees where nurtured. Over
the back of the
house, the remains of household hydro power system, and the shell of the
old gardeners
cottage, all reminders that this is one of New Zealand's “Heritage”
houses.
