Wendy Whiteleys Secret Garden - Lavender Bay (NSW)

4 /5 Atish Shetye: Indeed, a secret garden! Small steps lead to a hidden getaway—a quiet and serene place full of trees and plants, with arrangement of chairs at the end of steps. Perfect for a date if youre looking for a quiet, private, secluded, and nature-friendly spot. Just a bit gloomy, and the chair and table arrangements could be better maintained.

5 /5 J Fong: It is one of the best urban sanctuaries that is pretty much an open secret of Sydney. I have been here a few times now and love it every time I come here. Some key highlights & tips: - It is within walking distance from Milsons Point Train station or Milsons Point Wharf by ferry through Lavender Bay. It is possible to get here by car, but street parking may be limited. - I highly recommend wearing a good pair of walking shoes. While it is not a difficult hike in the garden or to & from public transport, a comfy pair of shoes will make the trip here more enjoyable. - Every season provides a different experience when visiting the garden. There are flowering plants that flower at different times of the year. Also, there are sculptures in the garden. - The garden has multiple entrances. Look out for the various entry points. - It has never been crowded for the times I have visited. Though, at times, you may bump into couples doing wedding shoots or hiring a section of the garden for a garden wedding. - There are seats along the walkways and at the bottom of the garden, tables & seats as well. Visitors are welcome to bring their own picnic rugs. I have also seen other visitors bring a book to read or have lunch in the garden. - As the garden has slopes and stairs to access different parts of the garden, it is not wheelchair or pram friendly. - A visit here can span between half hour to 2 hours (depending on how you like to spend your time here). - From the top of the garden and parts of the walkways, it has one of the best views of the Harbour Bridge. From what I have read, this garden is maintained by volunteers, and they are truly doing an amazing job. I highly recommend visiting this amazing, not so secret garden.

5 /5 William Ma: This beautiful garden feels more like a forest to me. Its also a lot bigger than I thought with a lot of uphill and downhill. It could be a fun maze for kids as it consists of a lot of different paths. There are also tables and chairs for picnics and lunch. There are multiple entrances, so you cant miss it.
