Kings Plant Barn Stonefields

The retail centre at 86 Lunn Ave, Mt Wellington, has been developed on a high-profile site in the heart of a large and established catchment that encompasses fast-growing Stonefields and the affluent eastern suburbs of Remuera, Ellerslie, St Johns, St Heliers, Mission Bay, Kohimarama and Glendowie.

It has been thoughtfully designed to maximise convenience and accessibility, with dual street access from both Lunn Ave and Marua Road, and ample parking for 220 cars fronting all retail tenancies.

The development comprises of a purpose-built garden centre and cafe, a brand- new single-level retail building, and a fully refurbished commercial building with ground-floor retail and offices above. 

There is full-offer cafe, providing a relaxing space to socialise or simply take a short break from planning garden improvements.

The garden centre is occupied by the established New Zealand business Kings Plant Barn. The new centre has a focus on being as self sustaining as possible, generating all their own electricity from solar and collecting, filtering and reusing their irrigation water to cut down majorly on water use.

The centre has introduced a whole new concept in garden retail, with a specific focus on helping beginner gardeners.

The new Cheshire Architects designed space encourages creativity and exploration and acts as a gateway from indoor plants to gardening. The new centre carries an extensive range of plants, gardening supplies, tools and more, along with exceptional service and gardening advice from the highly knowledgeable staff.
