  Went there mid November; the garden was in full bloom, just amazing. The types of trees you will see will blow your mind away if you are a tree lover indeed. The whole place is so magical and serene; get to the serenity point and feel the magic. It is a must see. The main track is paved and well maintained. If you have a baby, the pram can be a hindrance as there are trails and tracks which are rough; there are also stairs. So If you want to see the whole garden, take a baby carrier. Parking is easy. No dogs are allowed inside the garden. if you really want to enjoy the place, arrive early so you have enough time to walk around peacefully.

  Great place for family or friends. Beautiful flowers! Good place for picnic as well. The staff is very friendly and they even gave me a lift in the park!

  Very beautiful place to have a walk around. Different kinds of flowers and trees for different seasons around the year. Preparing for a fair bit of walking. There are not many water refill stations in the garden so remember to fill all your bottles at the gate.

  Spacious park with very old and tall trees and beautiful flowers. Might be crowded during the public holidays so parking can be difficult. There is a carpark nearby but cars also park along the roadside. No entrance fee but donations are welcome. Small plants on sale. Restaurant and a gift shop inside. There are also some tables and benches around the park. Lots of empty space for people to picnic.

  Great big gardens with wonderful walking paths and wide variety of plant species. Consider the weather when visiting here as they tend to close the park during extremely windy conditions. Bring some water with you because it's a bigger walk than you might think. Elderly will have some seating options around the place and there is a caffe and cute little gift shop with lots of Australian theme products near the main entrance. Public holiday weekends during warmer months do tend to be chaos, I would avoid at all costs. You would need to allow at least 2 hours for a walk and rest.
