5 /5 Khalid M: Wow, 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I almost missed this secluded garden on my walk from Rushcutters Bay to Rose Bay, but I’m glad I stopped by. It’s a beautiful, enclosed, multi-tiered (Italian style?) garden with a mix of Mediterranean and more tropical plantings. Although it’s right next to the main road, it feels like a world away. Once you walk into the garden, there’s a sense of tranquility and peace that’s hard to explain. It’s made up of a few different areas, each with its own design and aesthetic, and you really don’t know what to expect when you enter into a different section.
There’s an entrance ramp off the main road, which makes it wheelchair accessible, and the gardens descend to a path that leads to Murray Rose Pool (also worth checking out) and a cafe.
One recommendation would be to have more benches, as this is definitely a place I can see myself bringing a book to read or just sitting and relaxing.
Highly recommend! I would even go so far as to say this is a place you should travel to see in and of itself, even if you’re not in the neighborhood.
