The Maire Nui Gardens are absolutely beautiful! Walking through these gardens is such an absolutely calming and serene experience. There are so many species of plant life and beautiful flowers to see and smell. The hosts of the gardens are so very welcoming and knowledgeable. We learnt a great deal about how the gardens came about and what is within them. So much love, passion and hard work goes into the sustainability of the 100% organic gardens and it's so easy to feel this from the conversation with the host.They also have the Hidden Spirit Cafe located within the gardens - you absolutely MUST have the cheesecake! It was delicious! What could be better than sipping tea and eating cheesecake in this beautiful setting?The gardens are a not-for-profit organisation so please make sure you donate when you visit! It is absolutely amazing to see the hard work that the hosts put in to keep these gardens functioning for others to enjoy! They also commit to the sustainability of the Cook Islands community by teaching local community members how to plant fruit and vegetables organically. This place really is a local gem and is a MUST to visit during your time in the beautiful Cook Islands.

The hard work that has gone into these gardens over the last 17 years is very evident. Loved the variety of exotic tropical plants in this very well set-out and established garden. Little hidden statues throughout. Enjoyed a lovely cold drink in the Hidden Spirit Cafe following our walk around the garden. Only suggestion would be labels for some of the more exotic plants as it would have been nice to know what they were.

Spent an hour wandering peacefully through the gardens. They are studded with tropical plants that you may never see anywhere else. It is very well maintained.There is shade to cool you on a hot day. Well worth seeing.

My husband and I snuck away from our son for lunch - anything but takeaways. This was a very enjoyable light lunch. The single staff member was concerned about everyone's experience and was very pleasant. Nice lunch, lovely scenery, well worth a visit but leave the kids at home.
