Maire Nui Gardens & Cafe
Tucked away on seven acres across lush grounds in Rarotonga, Maire Nui Gardens & Cafe is one of the island's most loved green escapes. Founded in 1996, what was once bare pasture and swamp has grown into a thriving, fully organic garden filled with lily ponds, fruit trees and flowering paths waiting to be explored. Come for a guided garden tour, stay for lunch at the cafe, and leave feeling like you've found Rarotonga's best-kept secret.
