  • Gardens, flowers esp in Spring. Afternoon tea during October. Great family place for kids to explore safely.

  • This is a fabulous place to visit for a stroll or a longer walk. Rhododendrons and azaleas have been planted under a canopy of Australian bush. It has a lovely large lake. Dogs on leads are welcome.....  more

  • Just the right time to go. So much colour. Nice to walk easily around the grounds and the new lookout gives a great overview.

  • Extraordinary, exotic and exceptional flowers and trees. Words can’t describe the beauty captured. Good for families or couples who want to get a romantic backdrop to photos. No cafe and wear flat shoes as steep in parts. Bathrooms good and very easy parking. Love from your local travel guide - M Please like this post if helpful ❤️
  • I came to see the change of colour on maple trees. It is good place to relax after having lunch at Katoomba. This garden has many trees; the plants are also labeled for education purpose. Please remember to bring your shawl as it is chill around this time. Also put on a good tracking shoes could help when walking around in this garden. Have a nice weekend everyone. 🤗
  • If you visit in the right season it is lovely and beautiful. When off season and not following, then something average. Entry is by donation only. There is parking and a public restroom. Not many benches or tables but worth packing light snacks or drinks to enjoy a break.
  • A good day out for the whole family, Campbell Rhododendron Gardens has a vast array of trees, plants and flowers with a pond. There is a shuttle bus that takes you to & from Blackheath town to the gardens but I am unsure of pick-up locations as we chose to walk it. There is a $5 dollar entry fee into the gardens and you may stay all day until closing hours - 4pm. There is onsite toilets and a café ran by volunteers- the ladies there are pleasant and accommodating. The café has indoor and outdoor seating area which overlooks the gardens. P.s I wouldn’t recommend infants in prams due to the terrain and narrow walkways of the gardens, also the trail signposting isn’t the best but you will not get lost.
  • It has a 5 AU$ Entrance fee but the place is worth the price. Beautiful flowers everywhere and benches where one can sit and enjoy the views.
