Photography
Duart House and Gardens provide outstanding opportunities
for photography. In Spring and Summer the garden is a blaze
of colourful roses and other flowers. There is a pond, stone
walls and many impressive trees.
Inside the house a magnificent rimu staircase ascends to the
first floor, just waiting for the bride to make her entrance!
The circular driveway and imposing facade of the house make
a wonderful backdrop for photographs of wedding vehicles or
a large group shot.
