Stylist, easy access, good parking, a delight to the eye for everyone even on a wet day as there are winter gardens, and opportunity to drive around parts of the garden as well. The gardeners there were friendly and informative.

Came upon this place by chance and was wonderfully surprised. Beautiful and relaxing with amazing gardens, exotic trees plants, and wildlife. Fell asleep under a tree I was so relaxed, saw a family playing cricket, and a group of teens having a BBQ, reminded me of mid summer ???

Love the botanic gardens. Latest visit we had a family BBQ here by the lake. It was great! Bbq's are free, plenty of room for kids to run around & explore, heaps of shade to sit under, toilet block nearby. Lovely setting all round. Great to even just go for a walk in amongst nature. Beautiful spot that is well maintained.

This Reserve is absolutely wonderful....great family or work function areas with BBQS everywhere. Lots of wide open spaces, various garden walks, green houses, sculptures and a gorgeous lake. A must experience place in beautiful Whanganui.

I only went in a short way this trip, I stopped at the Friendship Garden as the large twisted culpture looked really interesting, that then leads down to the various terraces with a central "corridor" that went all the way to the bottom and away into the distance. Each level had different sized and shaped terracotta style pots at the "corridor" junction. I will be coming back in the future to explore and recommend the place for an family bbq or picnic.

Situated 15 minutes from the Whanganui city center, Bason Botanical Gardens (off Rapanui Rd) is a small piece of paradise, and a definite must see if you are in or near Whanganui. Entrance to the gardens is free and there is ample and accessible parking all over the park. There is a wide variety of native and exotic plant life to enjoy, along with some interesting sculptures, scattered throughout the gardens (of which there are 8 different areas). This place is ideal for a nice relaxing picnic with the family (several gas barbeques are available to use at no charge) or a scenic walk away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. I highly recommend a visit to anyone who is in the area, you will not be disappointed!
