Mt Holdsworth Lavender & Flower Farm

Lavender Magic is a unique working lavender farm specialising in English Lavender. There are rows of lavender and plots of cut flowers nestled in a country garden with magnificent views. Situated in the foothills of the Tararua Ranges which create a stunning backdrop to this magical relaxing location.

Our English lavender is in full bloom up until the end of December as the French Lavender continues to mature. Come - inhale the aroma. Lavender Magic is unique, a Lavender farm and a Cut Flower Farm. It is Wairarapa's largest and longest-running commercial lavender farm and is different to other lavender farms. Lavender Magic specialises in English Lavender, has about 5000 lavender plants and grows a range of cut flowers. In season you will find pockets roses, lilies, sunflowers, zinnias and dahlias. You can pick your own lavender and cut flowers.

Since 2007 Lavender Magic has won many awards for the quality of their lavender oil, which can be purchased on site along with other favourite balms, creams, soaps and sprays, usually sold at the Wairarapa Farmers' Market each Saturday.
