点评:We stopped at Sculptureum in Matakana on our drive from Ruakākā to Auckland, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip.
From the moment we arrived, it was obvious how much thought, creativity and care had gone into every part of the experience. The sculpture gardens are beautifully designed, with winding pathways, colourful and thought-provoking artworks, and plenty of open space to wander at your own pace. Every turn revealed something unexpected, making it feel more like an adventure than simply walking through a gallery.
What really stood out was the atmosphere. It never felt crowded, there were plenty of places to sit, relax and simply enjoy the surroundings. It is one of those rare places where art, nature and tranquillity come together perfectly.
We also enjoyed lunch at the restaurant, which was excellent. Sitting by the fireplace with great food after exploring the gardens was the perfect way to finish the visit. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and the wonderful welcoming woman in the gift shop was an outstanding host, genuinely friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about the venue. It made the whole experience feel warm and personal.
Allow at least one to two hours to fully enjoy everything, and don’t rush. Whether you appreciate art, photography, beautiful gardens or simply unique places to visit, Sculptureum offers something for everyone.
Without question, this is an absolute must-visit if you’re travelling through Matakana or heading between Northland and Auckland. We would happily return again. 🌿🎨✨

刚一抵达,我们就能感受到整个体验环节倾注了多少心思、创意与用心。这里的雕塑花园设计精美,有小径蜿蜒其中,还有色彩斑斓且发人深省的艺术作品,更有大片开阔空间供游客随心漫步。每转过一个弯,都能发现意想不到的惊喜。这让人感觉更像是一场冒险之旅,而不仅仅是简单地在画廊中漫步。
最令人印象深刻的就是那里的氛围。这里从不显得拥挤,有很多地方可以坐下休息、放松身心并尽情欣赏周围的景致。这是一个难得的地方——艺术、自然与宁静在这里完美地融合在了一起。
我们还在餐厅享用了午餐,味道极佳。在游览完花园后,坐在壁炉旁品尝美味佳肴,真是对这次参观的完美收尾。工作人员极其热情好客,礼品店那位热情周到的女士更是一位出色的接待员——她真诚友善、学识渊博,对这个地方充满热情。正因如此,整个参观体验显得温馨又贴心。
建议预留至少一到两小时来尽情享受这一切,切勿匆匆忙忙。无论你是艺术爱好者、摄影发烧友、喜爱美丽花园的人,还是只是想探访一些特别之地的游客,Sculptureum都能满足你的需求。
毫无疑问,这里绝对值得一游。如果你正在马塔卡纳地区旅游,或者要从北地前往奥克兰,这里绝对值得一逛。我们非常乐意再次光临!🌿🎨✨
