Admiral Farm, Admiral Gardens Chatham Islands

Hi Friends,
When you come on an adventure holiday to the beautiful Chatham Islands you cannot surpass spending a Sunday afternoon at Admiral Farm with your hosts Val and Louis Croon. Val and Louis have dedicated a big part of their lives creating this magical location that features the biggest array of Blue Forget-me-nots that are endemic to the Chatham’s.

Not only we you be enthralled by the stunning gardens and sculptures, you will also enjoy a relaxed bbq as you sit around the open fire sipping wine feasting on the local seafood harvest including Paua, Crayfish at times and fresh Blue Cod as well as Hapuka. These dinner evenings are available on Sunday nights and bookings are essential.

Just look here at the photos and video of Admiral Gardens that are located on the road to Port Hutt, 100 metres past the turnoff to Kaingaroa.


As you can see the warming of stones over the fire add an extra flare of relaxation and enjoyment as these stones will keep you warm. Many people place the stones in their pockets or tops, but sadly many forget to remove the stones upon leaving the farm. So when you come here please remember to give these precious stone back to Lois and Val or simply leave them in the fire area pit.
