Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
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.

Wombat Hill Botanical Gardens is a feature of this central Goldfields area. These gardens are located in Daylesford. The Wombat Hill takes in the Wombat Forest area, with related areas such as Trentham and Blackwood, which are a few minutes apart by car. Wombat Hill Botanical Gardns is a good place to stroll when the weather is pleasant.

Gorgeous outlook of the township below, the gardens were easy to navigate and pram friendly. Great place to take your children for a picnic.

Whether it’s summer spring winter or autumn these gardens are amazing. There is plenty of space to sit under a 150 year old tree or have a picnic and walk around the gardens. Offers great views of the district and township.

The gardens were very green with many very old tall trees. The road to the tower at the top was incredibly potholed but navigable.

Located above Daylesford, it’s a short (but steep!) walk past the convent. There is also plenty of parking at either the cafe or on top of the hill. The scenic ‘drive’ is a track and has suffered from recent rains so is quite potholed. TBH you could walk around just as easily. Excellent European style gardens dating from the 19th c.

My wife and I visited these gardens during our recent holiday in Daylesford for two nights.
This was our second visit. We arrived on a cold Thursday morning while there was no one else around. We walked around the gardens and the walking track on the side of the gardens, near the Tower.
These gardens are well maintained.

A peaceful place to view natural beauty. So many trees to explore and identify, a tower to climb, paths to wander. Well worth a visit, any time of day.

A lovely space to spend some time and enjoy some grand old trees. Plenty of locations for a picnic or to sit and enjoy the flora and fauna.

It is a small botanical garden and you could ride around it but the area is a hilly place.
