These two, connected barbecues add to the five existing ones throughout the gardens, provide partial shelter from wind, rain and sun and are situated to the right of the driveway at the base of Millennium Hill.

Like the Homestead Gardens entrance, they are also a functional sculpture designed by Isthmus Group of Wellington. Viewed when descending to Picnic Flat they draw the visitor’s eye, pique their curiosity and lead them further into the gardens to investigate.

They can be imagined as giant kiwis, poking at the ground, or whatever takes the viewers fancy. The barbecues have become very popular drawing large gatherings for family fun. Some even bring their own water slide for use on the adjacent hill.
