We spent last weekend in Christchurch and I took the opportunity to visit The Giant’s House in Akaroa. This incredible place is the work of artist Josie, who fell in love with the site many years ago and has since restored the house and gardens and made hundreds of whimsical mosaic sculptures in the garden. I (Sylvia) visited with my son, his friend, my nephew his son and daughter. You could spend hours wandering around the sculptures and still not see all the detail and whimsy. It is easy to see why this place has been recognised as a Garden of International Significance since 2018.
