Welcome to Birdwoods - a very special place in the heart of beautiful Hawke's Bay. Just 3km from Havelock North village, Birdwoods is a 'must see' for visitors and locals, offering a gallery, sculpture garden, café and old fashioned sweet shop.
The Gallery's home is the original 1894 church hall from St Peter's in Waipawa, now with a beautiful conservatory added. The extensive grounds include an outdoor terrace and large sculpture garden. Birdwoods' famous café treats can be enjoyed year-round from 10am in one of the Bay's loveliest settings (online bookings are highly recommended).
Right beside the Gallery is the Birdwoods Sweet Shop, with old fashioned sweets 'just like you remember' housed in a charming one-room colonial cottage. Packed to the rafters with a treasure trove of sweets, it’s a favourite of young and old.
Enjoy real fruit ice creams in the summer and come and visit our three resident ostrich!
As we head into winter, Birdwoods will be closed on public holidays and Tuesdays & Wednesdays from June through September - with the exception of the school holidays, when we’ll return to being open 7 days a week.
Please note we’ll also be taking a short winter break with a full shut down from Thursday 7th August to Wednesday 20th August.
We’ll be back to operating 7 days a week from Friday 20th September, just in time for the spring school holidays.
Thanks for your continued support - we look forward to welcoming you at Birdwoods!
