Enjoyed The Dessert Experience here today. Great to meet Jason & Trish and have a tour of their farm. Then the food pairing with LH ingredients used. Enjoyed our afternoon, thanks to all.

Trish is the most wonderful host! She is so down to earth, genuine and hospitable. My family had the most amazing time with her on the farm. We will definitely sing her praises to people we chat with. Products are beautiful the farm is so relaxing and incredible views. What a place to take the family for an escape or if the city. Pack a picnic and ask Trish for a tour! One beautiful place to keep your eye on as they continue to grow!

Wow! What a fantastic place. While we didn't go at a the time of year to see the lavender in bloom, the landscape was great, the Alpaca especially friendly and the owner was absolutely lovely. Great little shop and after a taste of their gin, just had to grab myself a bottle.

What a great quiet location with great amenities. Hosts thought of everything. We were lucky enough to smell the lavender being processed into oil. This was divine.

Lavender Hill is a beautiful retreat north of Auckland, and the perfect place for myself and the family to stay. We booked the house for the weekend while attending a wedding in Kaukapakapa and had 3 toddlers with us. Trish made us feel welcome from the word go. The kids loved feeding the alpacas and the sheep. My father in law was given a thorough tour and demo of the lavender processing. Thank u so much for making our time there a breeze. Rosanna

Thoroughly enjoyed a pleasant day trip to Lavender Hill today with friends. Fantastic farm tour by the lovely owner Trish was a delight and she was so informative. Beautiful peaceful surroundings and loved the gin and limoncello tastings. The lavender products are fantastic - purchased essential oil and hand and foot cream - excellent quality - a real gem of a place to visit.

What an amazing place Trisha has. Our stay was absolutely perfect. A wonderful place for us to get ready for our wedding, a comfortable family home with the most gorgeous outlook. Trisha is an absolute star, the welcome treats were such a lovely touch. Her limoncello and Gin are delicious and highly recommend making a purchase! Our stay with our family couldn’t have been better, I can’t recommend her place enough. Dec 2022

Delicious gins! My partner and I have tried the lavender gin, the sloe gin, and the smoked honey gin. I have to say, none of them lasted very long at our house; they are all fantastic. We've also bought a few as gifts and they were well received. We'll be trying any further limited edition gins they release and will be reording the lavender gin. While these were all ordered online, I've had the pleasure of meeting Trish in person separately and she is absolutely lovely. Highly recommended!!

We did the farm tour, it was a great experience. Learned a lot about the different processes that go on here, fed some cute animals and sampled gin. All in all a lovely time!

What a gorgeous, idyllic spot! We enjoyed every minute of the farm tour and the delicious gin samples too. Many thanks.
