A day of discovery begins this morning with a stop for delicious morning tea treats in Cambridge, we will then head to Inspirit Studio & Gallery. A spacious contemporary art gallery and multifunctional creative space based in Tamahere. Hamilton. The purpose-built gallery exhibits a diverse range of artistic mediums. Photography, painting, indoor & outdoor sculpture, glass, jewellery, ceramics, functional art, wearable art, printmaking and mixed media. The Inspirit mission is to support and promote the highest quality original New Zealand art and design with an emphasis on representing leading local artists.  We will undoubtedly have worked up an appetite for lunch at our next destination - the breathtaking Willowbrook Park. Designed in the style of a traditional English country estate manor house, this venue is a true work of art, painstakingly landscaped with love by its owners.

Next, we stop in at the world-class Hamilton Gardens. Rather than focusing on plant collections, at Hamilton Gardens the emphasis is on different types of garden design and a unique concept of showcasing the cultural meaning and context of gardens over the past 4,000 years. Once we have completed our exploration through the gardens we then head for home.
