The Begonia House at the Lady Norwood Rose Garden
About the Business
Welcome to The Begonia House at the Lady Norwood Rose Garden, located at 101 Glenmore Street in Wellington, New Zealand. As an establishment, park, point of interest, and tourist attraction, we offer a unique and enchanting experience for all visitors.
Situated within the Wellington Botanic Garden, our institution provides a captivating environment spanning 25 hectares. Here, you will discover specialized plant collections, vibrant botanical displays, stunning landscapes, and a protected native forest. Additionally, our location offers breathtaking views overlooking Wellington City, providing a picturesque backdrop for your visit.
If you are interested in exploring New Zealand's native flora, we highly recommend visiting Ōtari Native Botanic Garden and Wilton's Bush Reserve. This public botanic garden is the only one in the country dedicated solely to native plants, offering a truly immersive experience in our rich natural heritage.
For those seeking a glimpse into Wellington's history, we invite you to visit Truby King House and Garden. This heritage-listed estate, nestled in Melrose, was once the home of Sir Truby and Lady Isabella King - the founders of the Plunket Society. Take a leisurely stroll through the brick paths and archways, admire the historic garden beds, and enjoy a captivating view of the sea below.
The Begonia House at the Lady Norwood Rose Garden also holds significant historical importance. Originally a site for Māori burials during the settlement of Te Whanganui-a-Tara, this cemetery began European burials in 1840 and is now Wellington's oldest European cemetery. Many notable figures from early Wellington are laid to rest here, making it a tranquil and historically intriguing escape from the city. Don't miss our heritage rose collection, inspired by the original graveside plantings, which blooms in its full glory from November to December.
Mark your calendars for our upcoming events, running from April 21st to September 15th. Join us for a memorable experience at The Begonia House, where you can immerse yourself in the beauty and history of Wellington's natural and cultural heritage.
We look forward to welcoming you to The Begonia House at the Lady Norwood Rose Garden, an oasis of tranquility and beauty in the heart of Wellington, New Zealand.

"Not only beautiful begonias, but all types of tropical plants in a lovely display."
"I love going here, it is so colourful with flowers and amazing plants. If you want an instant fix of feeling wonderful pop along and enjoy the visual feast. There is a beautiful pond with water lilies and fish but be prepared for the humidity, it is very warm, a lovely array of orchids and tropical plants also are in this area. Public toilets are also in this area and an entrance to the cafe."
"Love all the plants in here, so colorful and beautiful. It has plants from other countries like from Australia and Asian countries. Their effort is much appreciated!"
"The best place to visit in Wellington! At first we almost gave up to walk down to Rose Garden from the top of Cable Car because of the challenging hike. Luckily we still visit here by driving our rental car! The environment and flowers here are wonderful! Cool air and nice flower smells, the inside with rainforest and water plants are even better, I have seen plants that only saw from the the textbook! There is a cafe right next to the garden, decent price, great for break after a long walk! In my opinion, it’s the best place to visit in Town. Highly recommended!"
"Great variety of plants and flowers, part of the botanic Gardens. Very warm and humid inside. Rose garden outside. Cafe was very busy so perhaps do not count on it."
