Highlighted reviews
Petr has one of the most beautiful art galleries set back from the main state highway in Whataroa (a bit before Franz Josef) and is surrounded by natural bush. It is definitely worth a visit to this art gallery on your way to/ from Glacier Country! There are so many breathtaking pieces to see!
So glad we dropped-in to Petr’s gallery.
An affable and adept photographer who captures the region’s stunning beauty.
Don’t be surprised if several images whisper ‘take me home with you!’
A visit I hadn't counted on at all and it was great. Peter is very nice, helpful and it was great to talk to him. It's amazing what goes on behind the business of being a photographer!
