Maire Nui Botanical Gardens

Amazing nature view, very peaceful vibe!

A must-have place for tropical plants and food. This summer, I went to Larotonga on the beautiful Cook Islands for a holiday with my wife. There are a lot of tropical plants planted in the plant garden, many of which we first saw. There were flowers blooming in three directions, the flowers were tender yellow, the petals were white, and there were long green leaves below. There were four petals, the whole flower was as red as blood, spitting out long tube-like flowers. There were some coconut trees hanging over them, as if they would fall off as soon as they shook, and then we crossed a bridge above a creek into a wider broad-leaved forest. The stream was sprinkled with thinly fallen leaves, and I thought of a word “flower flowing water” that didn’t fit well here haha. We found this wonderful garden cafe and barbecue restaurant on our recent trip to Rarotonga. Cheesecake is a fun mix of cheese and pavlova, it sounds strange but it tastes great! It is really delicious with delicious tropical fruit and sweet vanilla ice cream. Then we attended wine tasting and barbecue nights, sat at one of the candlelight and starry garden tables, roasted fresh lamb with delicious tropical vegetables and garden salads. We shared a homemade chocolate cake that tasted great. The staff here are very friendly and welcoming and the service is meticulous, just like the rest of us dining on this beautiful island. A large number of interesting tropical plants for you to take pictures, soft light, and away from the bustling parks, and beach scenery, it is a peaceful paradise. Tips:1. The price for visiting the garden is $5. 2. Cheesecake shop must be visited, cake with vanilla juice, excellent.
