Tūpare House & Garden is a former family home in the Arts & Crafts / Tudor style surrounded by a 3.6 ha park garden in New Plymouth. It is now owned and operated by the Taranaki Regional Council as a public park and event venue.

Tūpare is a premier landscaped garden with a unique homestead. Sir Russell Matthews and his family developed the home and garden from 1932.  Sculpted from a hillside overlooking the Waiwhakaiho River, the plantings and landscapes remain true to its heritage.

As you walk the winding paths cut into the hillside, you’ll find stately trees, deciduous maples, copper beeches and dawn redwoods There is also a stunning collection of rhododendrons, azaleas, and hydrangeas. Sir Russell carefully planted the plants you see today.
