Linton of Akaroa - "The Giant's House"
68 Rue Balgurie, Akaroa

Linton of Akaroa -
The Giant's House sculpture mosaic garden is colourful, exuberant, interactive, romantic, fun and full of surprises. It is set on a sheltered north facing sunny hillside in the open spaced valley in Akaroa 1.5 hours drive from Christchurch. The garden surrounds the large historic house (circa 1880) built by the first BNZ Bank Manager. There are flat areas around the house and terraced gardens gently wind up the hillside. Contrasting historic with contemporary art and balancing gardns with sculptures, it is a unique creation.Music plays from the sculpted mosaic (and planted) grand piano, accompanied by the sound of water from the fountain features. There is space to pause and enjoy the garden before moving on to the next creation.
