FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

SUNFLOWER FIELDS

 
 
1. Where do I park?

There is plenty of parking available! The flower fields will be clearly sign posted on the side on the road at 167 Taha Road, Waimauku - drive in, and park in the paddock there. Please drive slowly and be mindful of pedestrians. The fields are wheelchair accessible. Parts of the farm have concrete paths, however it is a paddock and may be a bit of a bumpy ride.

 

2. What do I wear?

Whatever you feel comfortable in. We recommend wearing shoes to reduce your chance of standing on a bee. We also recommend you wear a hat and sunscreen, there is limited shade in the fields.

​

3. Can I bring my dog? 

Not to open weekends. You can bring them to Doggy Fridays though (5-8pm).

​

4. Do you sell food or drinks?

We do sell cold drinks and ice blocks, but no food. You are welcome to bring your own food in.

​

5. Can I bring a picnic with me?

Absolutely! The fields span over 9 acres, so you're more than welcome to set up a cosy space with friends or family. Keep in mind, weekends can get busy and that week day sessions can be booked to guarantee a quiet, private space. 

​

5. What do I bring with me?

If you want to pick your own Sunflowers - Secateurs. (REALLY strong scissors). Sunflowers need to be cut with secateurs.  Alternatively, you can buy pre cut flowers.  

You may want to bring something to wrap your sunflowers in (as the stems are quite hairy) - something like a bag, newspaper or a bucket of water. 

​

6. Can I fly a drone over the fields?

For open public weekend sessions, no. For privately booked weekday sessions - please discuss this with Jasmine. 

​

7. Do you have toilet facilities? 

Yes, there is a portaloo on site. Please ask a staff member if you need to use one.​

 

8. How do I book for a midweek session? 

You can do this through the website. 

 

9. I want to propose to my partner in the sunflower fields, can you please help me to pull off a sneaky surprise? 

Of course! We LOVE proposals. If you want to plan any sort of surprise for your partner, let us know! We're more than happy to help you pull off your ideas.

​

9. I'm allergic to bees, can I still visit the sunflower fields?

You certainly can, but you will need to manage this risk accordingly. It is very low risk if you stand on the edges of the fields, vs walking amongst the sunflowers for photos. We love our bees, but if you have severe allergies, you may need to consider your health and safety before visiting our farm.

 

10. What happens if it is raining?

We will work with you for booked sessions when the weather is looking questionable, and make the call on our end if the weather isn't looking great. Sessions can be moved to accommodate for bad weather. We will keep our socials updated in regards to open weekends and the weather.
