Beautiful garden, very quiet during a winter stay, whole garden to ourselves. I would imagine the area is a lot busier during Autumn and Spring due to the gardens in the area.

Long Walks At Dennarque Estate

Dennarque Estate is known for its beautifully manicured gardens, and for the three days we were there, we ensured a long walk every day to cover every inch of the estate.

From almost-riped cherry trees to every single type of flower you could imagine, and even a traditional Japanese garden- we spent hours walking along every pathway in Dennarque Estate.

Explore Mount Wilson

If you go for a drive along the Bells Line of Road, we recommend taking a detour to Mount Wilson! With stunning lookouts and rainforests, it is perfect for an afternoon wander. We particularly loved wandering through the Cathedral of Ferns, a short and tranquil walk amongst majestic stands of tree ferns and scrambling vines.

Mount Wilson Scenic Drive

The area has magnificent bushland and rainforest, walks and canyons as well as historic houses and grand exotic gardens, some of which are open to the public.

Waterfall Circuit Track

You will be in awe of the superb rainforest vegetation including giant coachwood, sassafras, corkwood and tree ferns, as well as beautiful waterfalls on Waterfall Creek. The track takes you past two waterfalls, one small and one large, then returns to the reserve.

A Few Options For Food Start With Hive Cafe

If you're like us, it's not uncommon that Andy will eat anything while I'm a bit more particular about my diet. In the morning he was starving so he grabbed a hot meat pie from the Pie in The Sky shop at the top of the road. However, I don't eat gluten or dairy, so we needed to find me a little something before beginning our day. A 15 min drive up the road took us to Hive Cafe, where I had all my dietary needs met. They had smoothies, and GF toasties and treats (as well as glutinous ones) and coffee and chai and all the things someone as picky as me needs to satiate hunger.
