"What a beautiful garden to spend your weekends with family or your loved one. Spring is starting and the flowers gonna bloom soon. A lot of birds and colourful flowers and plants. Enjoy!!"
"Absolutely love these gardens. I just moved to the area and so overjoyed to find these just around the corner from me! There is so much to see and it is so well kept, immaculate and clean. Also very quiet and easy to access with tram or bus. You can come here to enjoy a nice walk, to relax in the open space or to see the different plants and flowers. I haven’t seen the light show yet but also looks worth booking in!"
"Took a guided tour and found it very interesting. The gardens are spectacular and wandering about was really fun and relaxing. Staff are friendly and informative. Will definitely be coming back as one day was not enough to see everything!"
"The garden is very well maintain. We arrived toward the late afternoon so we couldn’t spend much time here. Please look at the open and close time first. The garden is big and has various type of plants for you to enjoy. It’s so peaceful and quite. There are space for you to relax and enjoy the well spent time here. At the front of the gate there is a gift shop where you enjoy shopping and there is a book section if you want to explore:))) do come and enjoy the time here :)"
"Stunning gardens with a great running track that circles it, and beautiful, exotic and native trees and plants. It’s a great place to walk your dog and enjoy a coffee. There are also great cafes and function centres within the gardens."
