Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 468 reviews
The Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden is Victoria's premier cool-climate garden. With breathtaking views over the Yarra Valley, the garden features important collections of rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias and more, in a setting of native and exotic trees. Seasonal changes ensure the garden is a year-round delight. Meander down to Serenity Point where the sculpted landscape opens to stunning views. A network of paths criss-cross the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden and highlight the ever-changing seasonal landscape. Bring a picnic basket and set up on one of the lawns within the gardens for a scenic day out. Ride the 'Garden Explorer' - a fee-for-service people mover which provides a 25-minute guided tour of the garden.

This visit I was able to see the Rhododendrons and azaleas at their best. The gardens and grounds are beautifully kept, loved the Proteas. Enjoyable just strolling around the large area. A reasonable walking ability is required due to downhill, uphill walking. Restaurant on site as is a wonderful gift shop, especially if looking for a gift for an overseas friend. Toilet on site.

Walking through Mangana feels like a journey through the old-world. Sourced from craftsmen around the world, each piece is carefully selected by the owners for its beauty, charm and timelessness. The range is displayed like an Aladdin’s cave featuring museum-style scientific and maritime instruments, leadlight lamps, Australian sheepskin footwear, solid timber furniture, genuine gemstone and silver jewellery, leather-goods, and other exclusive quality-crafted treasures.

This is a beautiful place and SO peaceful. There are excellent viewing platforms along the track to the falls so you can sit and soak in the energy wherever you feel comfortable - and the energy is AMAZING. This is one of my most beloved places to go when I need to be in nature. Absolutely wonderful. A must-visit.
