Historic Garden, Park Lands & Homestead. The property contains over 100 species of significant plants and trees; a mud brick homestead and historical remnants of the past. The trees date back to the 1870's with many being over 60 metres in height. Some amazing flora & fauna exists on the 10 acres of land including exotic birdlife and native Australian animals including echidnas, wombats & wallabies. A peaceful, tranquil and beautiful park to lose yourself from the hustle and bustle of day to day life. Please be my guest!

What a beautiful place to visit. Well maintained gardens complemented by clean facilities. A good map is provided within the $10 (cash or card) entry fee. The site is divided into various vegetation areas, each with fountains, statues etc together with a Japanese garden and museum. Only feature lacking is an on-site venue to purchase snacks etc

TEMPORARILY CLOSED - We will be re-opening in Autumn 2020. Nestled on the eucalypt clad slopes of Mt Macedon is a truly remarkable oasis of beauty. Undulating across 7.5 acres of sweeping lawns, lakes and trees, with vibrant seasonal colours. Chooks, geese and ducks roam free around these magnificent grounds, which are suitable for young and old alike. Bring a picnic and meet with friends, or enjoy the peaceful ambience under a tree with a good book. While wandering the gardens you can watch the birds frolic around two lakes; one arched by a Monet style bridge, and the other ladened with water lilies. Wander through the stunning perennial walk, sit down under the romantic rose arbour, discover a variety of beautiful flowers or explore ‘Treasure Island’, where a cubby house, slide and sand pit sit among a fern glade. We look forward to welcoming you into our beautiful garden.

What a wonderful walk. Such beauty. Well thought out and cared for. Well worth it. The cockatoo head spin at the end was the cherry on the top of a great morning.

A little piece of history and a great place to walk - it is a Sanatorium Lake. It is a man-made pond full of drinking water surrounded with a forest. Firstly it was made as a source of water for tuberculous sanatorium, but clinic closed for a long time ago and this pond become a small wild lake. It keeps water for birds and animals and enriches this area. Very quiet place - you also can have a picnic there, there are some picnic tables near the lake.
