About | CCT Lavender Farm

Come enjoy the beautiful scent of lavender as you walk through rows of it at CCT Lavender Farm in Karaka. Bees buzz and move from flower to flower, busy with their days work. Get some family photos, the lavender fields make a very nice background.

When you’re done, stop in at the cafe for some delicious lunch and let the kids have a play. There’s a little outdoor playground that is just the sweetest little thing, or if it’s wet outside, there’s an indoor play area as well. The older kids and adults will love a game of chess with a giant chessboard and pieces.

Best time to see lavender: lavender grows in summer and is best between December and February. Come early to avoid the crowds and grab some photos without about a gazillion people in the background.

Opening hours: both the cafe and farm are open 8:30am – 4pm, Tuesday – Sunday (closed Mondays). 

Bring: layer yourself with sunblock before heading out to the lavender field and don’t forget the camera!

We actually came a little late in the season, when the lavender was starting to dry out and wasn’t as bright as they are usually. Nevertheless, it was still nice getting to see this place and the kids loved running through the fields and finding the few bees that were left. We can’t wait to go again next summer!
