Visitor Comments

Stunning garden beds delight the eye during all seasons. Avenue of Prime Ministers are of much interest. Historical statues adorn the gardens. Large intriguing modern glass conservatory showcase a variety of displays. Many old trees respectfully nurtured. Ballarat's gem right opposite the beauty of Lake Wendouree.
