Gibbs Farm is about an hour’s drive north of Auckland on the shores of Kaipara Harbour. It is a beautiful farm but what makes it incredibly special is the collection of massive sculpture that Alan Gibbs, one of New Zealand’s wealthiest people, has acquired for the property. The farm is only open to public a few times a year. If you have the opportunity to visit, then we highly recommend you do. And if sculpture isn’t your thing, then there is also the diverse collection of exotic animals to view, including giraffes, bison, and ostriches.
