Brick Bay is best known as a winery with a striking glasshouse-style restaurant over a lake filled with water lilies. Although we don’t generally recommend commercial activities, the restaurant is worth the visit in its own right. Once there, you can also pay a small fee to walk around the extensive sculpture garden. The track takes you around one side of the lake, up towards a section of vineyards, through regenerating native forest, with a side trip into a section of kauri regrowth, across a paddock, and then back down the other side of the lake.
Numerous outdoor sculptures are along the way, and a few of them are shown here. The loop takes at least an hour.
The entrance to Brick Bay is off Arabella Lane, accessed from Mahurangi East Road to the east of Warkworth.
