    The gardens are beautiful. The cafe is quirky with old style coffee cups and plates. The food was very good. We booked the table one day before we went for lunch. It was busy and we waited around 20-30 minutes for our food. It was all worth the effort. Lovely staff also.

    Awesome and well set out gardens. Love the Arid area all the cacti and other plants up there. Even saw a family of Quails there, they were real cute
