Heritage Park Gardens at Kimbolton remains true to its name and origins as a 4.5-hectare garden of specimen rhododendrons, trees, kowhai, and perennial plants collections. Mature specimens of the former New Zealand Rhododendron Association plant beds wind across the top lawns and landscapes dipping down towards five ponds.

As visitors arrive, they find huge Wellingtonia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) trees along one side of the road with Atlas cedar (Cedrus atlantica) on the other. The hedge-lined driveway then brings people to the historic homestead and garden. Parts of the homestead date from the 1850s. This was the home of Sir John Hall, the member of parliament who introduced the successful Women’s Suffrage bill into parliament in 1893.
