A beautiful, well maintained garden. Can easily find sunny or shady spots with the abundance of benches and grass. Public toilet available on site. Plenty of different nooks and corners to give you a variety of experiences - areas with streaming water, rows of flowers, more public spots to feel part of the community, or semi private nooks with less people to just relax in nature. Free parking available but limited and in high demand.

I tried their eggs Benedict ($24) and it was delicious! You get a choice of bacon, ham, smoked salmon, pulled pork or mushrooms. Eggs were poached well. Hollandaise was thicker than expected but still deliciously creamy. Love how they provided a serrated knife to make eating it that much more pleasurable, and also gave a bottle of water and glass without having to ask. Mocha (small $5.50) was nice too. No surcharge on card. The entrance is actually on Downie St - if you just looked at Flinders Lane according to their google maps address, you may think the shop's closed and move on. Fast service - didn't wait long for order to be taken and food arrived within 10 minutes with drink arriving before that (August 2023)

We tried the crispy roast pork belly and flat rice noodles and they were both delicious! Super fast service - seated immediately and food came 5 mins after ordering! Good pricing. No toilets inside but there's a public one nearby outside. 1.5 % surcharge on regular cards, so bring cash! It's a pretty tight space so unless you're seating outside I probably wouldn't consider it accessible.

Beautiful rose garden with a variety of different coloured roses. When it blooms, it allows for beautiful photos to be taken at different angles with varying backgrounds such as the city skyline or the Queen Victoria monument

With the size of the place, impressed at how they've landscaped it such that most of the walking paths are under shaded canopies. There's a couple of kiosks and a restaurant and cafe within the compound, toilets also available within. There are scheduled bird feedings and bird shows which were pretty cool. The playground was unfortunately closed when we visited. There's fountains and ponds with fishes in between, even a waterfall area inside next to their amphitheatre. Plenty of birds walking and flying about freely and so many peacocks for an up close photo. Absolutely enjoyed our visit!
