The one hectare (2.5 acre) garden is set high in the Otway Ranges with spectacular views. In spring, cool climate plants such as rhododendrons, alpines and bulbs flourish. Roses, lilies and clematis are set off by mature shady trees during the summer months. Autumn brings rich colours to the deciduous trees and the final flush of roses and perennials.

The moderate climate with rare frosts and an average rainfall of 1000 mm makes gardening here very rewarding. A large range of rare and unusual exotics thrives in these conditions.

For those just wishing to visit the garden:

The garden is open to groups of 12 or more; bookings are essential. A two hour drive makes the garden an ideal day's outing from Melbourne. There is easy coach access for large groups. Plenty of sheltered seating is available for groups wishing to have morning /afternoon tea or lunch. Toilet facilities are available. Entrance cost: $5 pp.

Wanawong is an idyllic setting for wedding ceremonies. The garden provides a charming backdrop for photographs (click here to see rates).
