Mercury Orchard
Mercury Orchard is a place of peace, tranquillity and relaxation. The orchard was established around 1960. The main house was one of the first farm houses here in the area, an original homestead. We bought the property in 2015 as an existing B&B. We are very grateful to the previous owners Barry and Heather Scott for further developing this property and creating all these beautiful gardens and the cottages.
On 5 acres of land you will find 200 fruit trees (apple, citrus, pear, plum, fig, feijoa, guava and more), a large vegetable garden, glass house, two ponies, two kune kune pigs, a dog, a cat and a few chickens, extensive ornamental gardens with beautiful flowers, tall old trees, many hidden corners and a salt water swimming pool. We are a small Kiwi/Swiss community of four adults and one child who are all from different walks of life.
Our aim is to live in a mindful and sustainable way and we appreciate all nature has to offer. Our grounds are set up to permaculture principals and all our vegetables and fruit are grown to organic standards.
We invite you to wander around the property, explore the orchard, gardens and find the hidden places. Sit down on one of the bench seats or the lawn and just be... enjoy this beautiful piece of nature, listen to the bird sounds, smell the blossoms and flowers, wind down and relax.
We are looking forward to meeting and hosting you.
