BBQ and food was over priced for what you got. Went to give my kids a new adventure and experience, but it wasn't as good as other offerings in the Hawkesbury.

Went there with my wife today. Such a peaceful place and lots of plants for sale. We both had a salami toastie for lunch and it was yummy. Then we had scones with jam and cream. The scones were so good and just melted in our mouths. The cafe is run by friendly and very helpful volunteers and worth supporting at very reasonable prices. Some wonderful playing areas for the kids. Do your self a favour and go and visit.

Located at Western Sydney University, Hawkesbury Campus, Clydesdale Lane, Richmond, New South Wales, Australia 🇦🇺. This is a little gem. It’s a great place to bring children as there’s a wonderful play area. The paths are great as the just lead around what you want to see. There’s a great little trampoline area for children young and old. The little gift shop has some wonderful items to look through and buy if you want. The cafe is great but I just loved the scones, jam and cream - so yummy 😋. The plants placed around the area helps make it even more welcoming. The staff are really friendly and helpful. You can also go for a horse ride if you want to. I didn’t know this place existed before I came here and I definitely wasn’t disappointed. Well worth the visit. The amenities like toilets are good too. A definite Thumbs up 👍👍👍

Lovely and relaxing garden staffed by such friendly people. Plants very well priced. They also have a beautiful fenced play area for children. We also really enjoyed the cafe. Delicious homemade scones and sandwiches. We loved the pickles on our sandwiches so much we bought a couple of jars.

Great place to take toddlers and little ones - with lots of meandering pathways, chickens, goats, and trampoline areas (level with ground) to appeal to the kids.

Staff were so friendly. Cafe was a bit hard to spot (just an inconspicuous serving window opposite the kids playground). The kids playground had great shelter from the sun.
