A Masterclass in Care
Puketutu Island Estate is located on a volcanic island in Auckland’s Manukau Harbour, with rich cultural significance as the first permanent home of the crew of Tainui waka. In more recent times Puketutu Estate was developed as a private Spanish inspired homestead with elegant architecture and lush gardens. It is now a beautiful location for weddings, corporate events and celebrations. As an elegant and sophisticated venue for hire, set in beautiful grounds with scenic lawns, terraces, ponds, treescapes and sweeping driveways, it is the perfect backdrop.
To keep that perfect backdrop, Puketutu Island Estate work with GreensceneNZ Landscapes to ensure the property is in prime condition 100% of the time during wedding season and kept in a high degree of condition and further development during the off season. Horticultural knowledge to handle the scale and complexity of the landscape is necessary and Puketutu Island Estate receive expert knowledge from our GreensceneNZ Landscapes maintenance team.
The partnership calls for long-term planning, with ability for off season work to take place for further opening of the vast property, with the owner wanting to unlock its full potential. This brief requires working with a team who can plan, design, build, procure plants and maintain it during the summer season and develop it to the next planned level in the off season.
Victoria Erceg of Puketutu Island Estate has this to say about working with us.
“GreensceneNZ Landscapes began their contract at Puketutu Island Estate only a few months ago, and in that time Mike, Ashleigh, and their team have made a remarkable difference. Areas of the grounds that had previously been neglected are now being restored with care and professionalism. We are very pleased with the results so far and look forward to seeing the estate continue to flourish under their expertise in the months ahead.”
