Iberia Market Garden is a privately owned small commercial garden growing vegetables for the local food system. The fenced-in site on a busy street in a low-income neighborhood of New Iberia. The hosts are a gay couple in their 40s and live in the brick cottage in front. The property is surrounded by vegetable and flower gardens for guest to enjoy. An old garage currently undergoing remodeling is availablee for use as an off-grid outhouse. Amenities include: a bio toilet, propane heated outdoor shower/tub, and methane biogas stove. There is an outdoor solar heated shower as well. The offered outhouse is solar powered.
Should offer a discounted winter rate, the lily pond was drained and only the camellias and magnolias were in bloom. Definitely come in spring time, its be more worth the money. The gardens in sure and gorgeous. And my kids loved the peacocks.
The gardens are beautiful...peaceful and quiet..a nice getaway...the cafe has wonderful food...we enjoyed it all...
What a cool place! Incredibly well kept and a rich history. The peacocks! - they are everywhere and very friendly. Beautiful flowers and water features. You can spend 2-4 hours just walking around taking everything in. Restaurant has good food and if you are looking for event spaces they can accommodate that as well. Staff is helpful and attentive. Grounds are super clean. Gift shop has some great items. If you are anywhere near you should definitely check this out.
This place was amazing! My fiance & I stayed here at their Bed & Breakfast Saturday night and enjoyed every aspect of our experience! The gardens were beautiful! The peacocks are breathtaking. We woke up Sunday morning to 6 of them in our little courtyard. Each cottage is stocked with a bottle of wine, many snacks and lots of breakfast goodies! The bed was so comfortable, the sheets were super soft and the spacious cottage was really clean. The staff were really helpful and friendly! In fact, the day after arriving home I realized I had left my diamond necklace hanging on the bathroom door. I called and Michelle was so awesome! She went straight to the cottage to find it and offered to mail it back to me. We will definitely stay here again! Love this beautiful place!
This place is absolutely beautiful!! Our stay was on September 1, 2023. From the Grounds to the Peacocks to the People... I can not say enough great things about the place! We stayed one night in Cooks Cottage and it was perfect. We fell in love from the moment we drove onto the grounds. This place has so much beauty and peace in it. And once you go into the gift shop (office/headquarters) & talk to the staff you'll experience even more beauty, because they are super friendly and welcoming.
I spoke with Miss. Rachel a few times a we booked our absolutely last minute stay, judt 2days before. We were very fortunate that they even had an opening!! Anyways once we arrived Miss Rachel remembered me and was just as friendly as she was over the phone. Oh & the lady who did our house tuor was absolutely wonderful! Oh & the food at Jefferson Cafe was delicious!!
I look forward to returning, when the Peacocks have their long beautiful feathers- even though we did find lots of beautiful feathers, & I recommend this place to everyone.
