This is a great place. We didn't go at the best time of year, but it was still amazing. We will definitely be back in spring. The volunteers do a wonderful job to have it looking so fabulous all year around. if you are looking for something to do while travelling the north west coast of Tassie go and check it out, it is worth a look.

This is a beautiful place, just a short bus ride from the cruise port. It’s self guided, with fairly easy inclines that could prove challenging if you’re physically disabled. Watch for the platypus diving around in the pond. The food and coffee in the cafe are good. The staff is accommodating, cheerful and take pride in their products.

We visited the Rhododendron Gardens as part of a hoho bus trip. The gardens were well maintained, with different themed areas, gazebos, bridges, lakes and walking tracks. The gardens are maintained by volunteers which is very impressive. These is a cafe that has souvenirs and serves yummy scones and jam.

Lovely walk around the gardens, took about an hour or so. Two issues - it was hellishly windy, and it was the wrong season for rhododendrons, so no flowers! Having said that, it was still a lovely walk and the Japanese garden was stunning. There were a few lakes there and we just saw (literally) the tail end of a platypus! Enjoyable - but suggest a visit is timed for flowering season, when I am sure it is spectacular!
