What a hidden gem! The gardens are absolutely stunning and our kids loved the farm adventures. The cafe food was incredible too - best scones I've had on the Sunshine Coast. We'll definitely be back!
James Cooper

We've been coming here for years and it just keeps getting better. The new owners have really breathed new life into the place. The nursery selection is unmatched - found some rare grevilleas I couldn't find anywhere else.

Perfect family day out! The kids were entertained for hours with the animals and fairy trail. We had lunch at the cafe and everything was fresh and delicious. Great value for money.

As a fellow plant enthusiast, I was blown away by the diversity of native species here. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. Picked up some beautiful specimens for my garden.

Hosted our daughter's birthday party here and it was magical! The team organised everything perfectly. The kids had the best time exploring the gardens and meeting the animals. Highly recommend!
Robert Nguyen

Beautiful peaceful spot away from the tourist crowds. The rainforest walk is stunning and the café does a cracking eggs benny. Dog-friendly too which is a huge plus for us. Only wish they were open every day.
