Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Definitely one of the top things to do in Mansfield during school holidays and weekend. A gnome hunt, followed by a game of giant chess, then a bit of hide and seek in the gardens. Visited the royal chickens at Cluckingham Palace. Saw some brilliant art in both the Gallery and Cafe where we finished up with toasties, scones and milkshakes.
5/5 a must see for Mansfield area.

This little gem is well worth a visit. The ladies were amazing and helpful, the food wonderful and service excellent. They are doing amazing well for a new business.
The gardens were lovely to walk through and the well laid out, with lots of interesting areas. The current Garden Maze hunt for Gnomes was a lot of fun even for adults and made us laugh a lot.
Tony Pridham, the on site artist and owner of the Gallery has some amazing pieces of art and is extremely talented. We loved talking to him and purchased one of this prints.

Magnificent, absolutely beautiful. The hedges, lawns, roses, irises, trees. Was a highlight of our trip. A hidden gem. We had a lovely lunch in the cafe too.

A lovely way to spend a few hours on a sunny day. The maze and gardens are fun - (would be more spectacular in summer) they are beautifully laid out and relaxing. The staff are all very friendly and the cafe really good - with sandwiches, home baked treats like freshly baked scones with jam and cream, bread and butter pudding and great coffee : ) Children would love searching for gnomes and roaming free!

Relaxed lunch and afternoon walking the gardens and getting confused in the maze. The roses in the gardens were amazing, full of blooms. The staff were friendly and helpful

Great family day exploring the maze and enjoying the gardens. Tony showed us his paintings and shared the stories behind them, before we enjoyed scones and smoothies from the wonderful Nicole. The day was amazing and is highly recommended!

We were visited there first time since we live in Mansfield for 8 years. The garden was beautiful and the maze was fantastic. Ticket to entry was $15 each person for garden, maze and a gallery inside. Friendly staff, nice and clean place.
