Plus new Winter plantings in the Nursery, the most delicious farm-to-table Winter menu from our Executive Chef Jerome Kiers for casual family dining, farm shop & local makers' marketplace: room to roam, play, learn and discover.
Have you tried the Fairhill Winter Menu?
Fairhill's delicious winter menu from Executive Chef Jerome Kiers. Delicious breakfasts, brunch and lunch. Weekend and Holiday Specials. Fluffy, freshly-laundered blankets on the chairs during cooler days. Free entry to The Gardens Café, the Country Store and the Specialist Nursery.
Wattle Day Weekend
National Wattle Day falls on Tuesday 1 September, the first day of spring, and at a native botanic garden that is a day worth a whole weekend. The nursery benches are full of natives ready for spring planting. There is no better week of the year to put an acacia in the ground. Fairhill Farmyard Adventures runs through the morning, the Kids' Barn baby goat cuddles are all morning, and the Gardens Café is open 8am-2pm for a golden spring lunch plus the Terrace Bar & Takeaway for the famous Fairhill Waffle Collection and of course exceptional coffee. Join us to celebrate the Acacias at Fairhill, and choose from our Bird & Butterfly Collections at very special prices!

Absolutely loved our visit to Fairhill Garden Botanic Adventures! 🌿💗 I took my one-year-old and she absolutely loved it. So much to explore and see, and it was such a beautiful experience for little ones. We’ll definitely be back! 🥰✨

The friendly staff, well stocked retail outlet and great coffee and food were just the start of a great day. Goat walk was fun but the feeding and cuddles of the 6week old goat kids was the Best! Loved this for the feel good buzz this gives you....anx we are adults. The Nursery was impressive and I can see the new owners are determined to restore this place to it's former glory. Slowly it will really shine. Don't expect sophisticated....enjoy the calm 🥰

I always love my visits to Fairhill. It is so much more than the beautiful native nursery and gardens. A wonderful café, great staff to help with enquiries and a real community feel.
