Reviews
Beautiful gardens, you could spend all afternoon enjoying the day.
Great vibe. Garden decor that is curated with care and merchandised for inspiration . Succulents, epiphytes... even a few nepenthes, along with native species and garden basics. . Nice. Gift shop , vintage shop, and book shop are all charming - book shop owner is particularly welcoming. Entire property is relaxing to browse. Just beautiful.
Editing to add: Based on the owner's response, that the cafe is a separate business, we've upped the stars. It's a lovely property to visit. That being said, the same could be said for most of the other shops on site...and the positive reviews for those were well received. Leaving the comments regarding the cafe in place as anyone… read full review
