Lava Glass Sculpture Garden (Private)

The garden comprises of more than 600 glass sculptures, set in an acre of manicured grounds in an idyllic rural setting.  A boardwalk takes you on a 500 metre amble around ponds, through fields of glass flowers, and amongst stunning sculptures. You can sit and enjoy the water tumbling down the fifteen-piece glass waterfall, then continue your browse through a native tree bird area. The newest additions to the garden are New Zealand themed, with giant cast glass korus and three colourful glass lancewoods.

The glass sculptures have been designed and created by award-winning master glass artist Lynden Over, co-owner of Lava Glass Christine Robb, and their team of accomplished glass workers. Some of the sculptures are the largest works of glass ever blown in New Zealand. They are bursting with colour and creativity.
