Ambala Gardens, Rarotonga

by catalysta - last update: Nov 14, 2003

The Entrance

The Entrance
Draped in bougainvillea, the entryway beckons you into the shady cafe on a hot day of exploring the island.
The Pool

The Pool

Passing by the pool, you know you've entered a special place, a kind of sacred refuge.

The Cafe

Here you can rest under the lazy plantation fans, sipping iced fruit drinks and enjoying the original local artwork for sale on the walls, watching a hummingbird buzz around the flowering shrubs by the pool.
The Cafe
The Paths

The Paths

But eventually, the riotous colors of the garden pathways demand to be explored.

The Flowers

And you move into a feast of sight and smell, the heart of this small world...
