BEING BLESSED WITH SOME OF AUSTRALIA’S BEST PRIVATE
GARDENS, AND NOW IS THE TIME TO PLAN YOUR NEXT VISIT,
WITH SPRING AND AUTUMN BEING THE OPTIMAL TIMES.

Our cool climate presents wondrous displays of tulips, daffodils,
bluebells and peonies. These glorious spring flowers are followed in turn
by early summer gardens full of flowering shrubs and displays of some of
Australia’s best roses, and home to red & white waratahs. The Southern
Highlands is a landscape divided by large stands of mature pines, cypress
and Oak trees, remnants of our past when our colonial pioneers tried to
recreate their homeland.

The annual Tulip Time Festival is one of the biggest drawcards of visitors
