For being in the middle of the city, the Gardens was a pleasant experience. Plenty of flowers, tree and green open space to relax and enjoy a little bit of country in the middle of the city. Do plan accordingly as the place is huge and takes a good day to walk around and enjoy. You do not want to... More

Great way to spend some time away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Although the CBD is on your doorstep you feel as if it is a million miles away. The gardens are beautiful and extensive and provide a shady and picteresque escape from the hot sun. More
