Visitor Comments

Very interesting. A work in progress. They have some beautiful vistas and beautiful treas. The lake is beautiful with ducks and coots. Definitely a place to go. Very calming.
Glynis - October 2020
Incredible hard work, dealing with lack of water as well, Margaret & Alan are very dedicated to their beautiful Japanese Garden, well worth a visit.
Robyn - October 2019
Thank you Margaret for your lovely hospitality during our visit last week. We were travelling from Parkes to Sydney and had a beautiful and restful stopover in your magnificent Japanese garden. Thanks so much for opening to the public.
Lynette - September 2019
Wow. We turned up Wednesday afternoon, Sun shining. Alan led us into the the gardens, explaining each feature as we passed. The view across the lake from the Moon Viewing Platform was breathtaking. Autumn had mostly run its course and there were only a few trees exhibiting the brilliant colour that would have been there a week earlier. Must go back in Spring.
