TRELINNOE PARK – A GARDEN OF LANDSCAPE
Scenic gardens.. peace and tranquillity

Napier, in Hawke’s Bay, enjoys some of the best weather in New Zealand… sunshine, blue skies and mild winters.  This climate allows a wide botanical range.

Nestled among the trees you’ll find Fiona’s Tea House offering home made delights!

KAMAKA POTTERY
Award winning potters

Japanese style and method have had a strong influence in the work of Hastings potters Bruce and Estelle Martin since a visit to Japan in 1978.  It was on this trip that the Martins discovered the “anagama” method of firing pots, a technique that dates back to 11th Century Japan.  Pots fired in anagama kilns are unique.  Unlike most other pottery, the pots do not have a coating or glaze applied before they are stacked into the kiln.  Instead they are fired for 8 to 10 days so that the ash and flame produce an unusual natural finish.

Enjoy the landscaped grounds and the Anagama display in the Martin’s workshop.  They will explain the method of firing and show you their kiln – very few of these kilns now exist anywhere in the world, making these pots rare and unique.

The Martins offer you a generous 20% discount off all pottery purchased when you show your Qantas Connections card (excluding items already discounted).
