About this tour

Wander through 25 acres of Victorian gardens near Melbourne featuring two hedge mazes and a lavender labyrinth planted with over 1000 flowering specimens. Spend anywhere from half an hour to a full day exploring open lawns perfect for spreading a picnic blanket, letting kids loose on the new wooden playground, or simply getting delightfully lost among the paths. A scavenger hunt sheet keeps curious minds engaged as you navigate the twists and turns.

Highlights

  • Two separate hedge mazes to solve and navigate
  • Lavender labyrinth with thousands of summer-flowering plants
  • Timber playground built for climbing and exploring
  • Open grounds ideal for picnics and lawn games
  • Self-guided scavenger hunt activity throughout grounds
  • Accessible pathways and facilities for all abilities

What to expect

This is a self-guided ramble through well-maintained gardens rather than a structured tour. You'll receive an activity sheet on arrival and set your own pace—some visitors tear through in 30 minutes, others spend the whole afternoon. The mazes offer genuine navigation challenges without being brutal, and the lavender section bursts with colour and fragrance during warmer months. Bring sturdy shoes, water, and something to eat if you're staying long. Kids will spend hours in the playground while you sit nearby; prams and strollers handle the terrain comfortably.

Good to know

Fully wheelchair accessible with adapted facilities. Prams and strollers work on all paths. Bring sunscreen and water—there's limited shade in places. Best visited during lavender season (late spring through summer) for the full visual impact. Service animals welcome.
