"Absolutely beautiful Gardens. A hidden Gem, that is sp peaceful and serene. Its lovely to picnic there feed the ducks, go for a stroll and take in all the natural beauty."
"Beautiful gardens with $5 entry fee. Was a bit slippery after heavy rain and some paths steep & areas under repair when we went. There was a wedding on when we went so it felt a bit intrusive of us walking around while it was under way but we could still enjoy other parts of the garden. Lovely flowers and birdlife and toilets available. Worth a visit."
"What a beautiful garden! Visited today with my family in late Autumn for Mother’s Day. Very pretty with many Rhododendrons, Camelias and Daffodils and so many other plant species and trees with a large pond with water lillies and ducks. Explored about two thirds of the garden and would love to go back again a and see more. There some chairs amongst the garden. A pergola and a seperate area with to brick BBQs that you can use wood to cook your food (although these look very old) there are some tables and chairs in this area which would seat many. Being at Mount Pleasant it is a little cooler so bring a jumper unless it’s summer"
"Very nice secluded garden for picnic with family and friends. $5 entry fee to support volunteers maintaining the garden. Bring cash."
"Beautiful quiet gardens with picnic areas, open spaces, sections of dense foliage and uneven walking paths. Parking on-site but best to get there at opening time and take $5 cash for parking. Clean toilets."
