- Beryl HNewcastle, Australia16 contributionsWe were pleasantly surprised
It is only a tiny aquarium but the entry fee is very reasonable
The staff were very welcoming & gave us lots of information
Oh yes make sure you book a swim with the turtles 30minutes only $50
Not swimming with the turtles was our only disappointment
The restaurant exceeded our expectations with a great menu & a glass of wine served on the verandah by friendly staff

So we walked to the Chinese Garden seeing a Keelback snake, along the duck pond then around the property's short grass perimeter lane. Here among the thick forest, we saw a Noisy miner, a Laughing Kookaburra pecking at a termite nest, then a score of Black flying foxes at the top of a Eucalyptus tree.
Most plants/trees in the formal areas were well marked.Written 8 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Some historical points by the steps down to the beach.Written 25 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
