Cave Gardens
Excellent
Magnificent
Sadly, a sight that appears to get little, if any, mention in any visitor information, yet undoubtedly one of the most magnificent gardens I have ever been blessed to see. Especially when all the numerous rose bushes are in full bloom permeating the surrounding air with wonderful aromas. An absolute must find and see, even if the visitor centre staff have no idea where they are.
I have been to Mt Gambier many times for work and have driven straight past this enchanted secret garden without even paying attention. Even as we parked car and walked towards signed area for garden entrance, I was thinking, this is crap.... then this stunning oasis appeared and I was mesmerised! How awesome is this hidden garden.... such peace and tranquility, so beautiful! I will continue to visit the garden EVERY time I go to Mt G for work from here on in... highly recommend it... took my Japanese exchange student and my 9yo daughter, we all LOVED it.
These gardens are quite pretty, even in the middle of summer. The cave is quite unusual and the 15minute sound and video show is interesting.
Full of rubbish, no water flowing. Roses in the garden around it were absolutely beautiful though. Just a local people ant not a place to visit.
This is just next to the library. There is a small garden near to it. I am surprised to see a garden and a cave in middle of town.
Couldn't see any disabled parking nearby where I could unload a wheelchair from the rear. Fortunately, I got the end park in the side street near the library.
Rose Gardens around the Cave Gardens were lovely. Didn't seem much in the sinkhole. Able to wheel around the perimeter.
