Inverawe Native Gardens

Wonderful private garden - birdwatchers paradise. So much love has gone into this sprawling property. Take a leisurely couple of hours and treat yourself to tea on the terrace.

A wonderful outing, short drive south of Hobart, easy access and parking; Over 12 000 Natives, with direct links to the botanists that visited Margaret and Bills 20 acres of land, back in the 1800's. An organised, upper garden, terraced land, bush tracks either side, allowing for a access from north to south. Hoping this iconic native garden remains untouched and protected forevermore.
The tea, light beverages and plants for sale, an added bonus.

Hidden gem of a impeccably huge garden which extends all the way to the bay. Owner seems to be enthusiastic and dedicated about the place. Native plants and seedlings for sale too. Worth the $12 entry. I recommend anyone visiting the Margate Train to also check this place out.

As a local I have managed not to visit here, despite driving past several times a week. My bad. If you have the time and like a good walk it is a sensational place. Interesting small art installations and pieces of interpretation and poetry. Could use a few more labels on more of the shrubs and trees.

It’s a good children day out active to see old decommission train. Plus Resturant in it are nice as well. Do try there pan cakes.

Disappointed I'm afraid. Are the owners/operators well-meaning? Yes!
But I expected much more.

The property is quite expansive, with a large array of Australian (as opposed to Tasmanian endemic species) on display.

The additional "add-ons" are defined more by their incongruous presence rather than the appropriateness of their inclusion.

I'd have loved to have provided a positive review but in all good conscience, this was impossible.

Is it worth the visit? IF, you are crazy about wanting to view several hundred Australian plant species in a Tasmanian context then yes, go for it! But; I think the appropriate price charged you should be closer to $3.00 P/P and not $12.00 P/P.

Bill and Margaret have worked hard to turn this large property into a wonderful bushland home for over 12,000 native plants. Come and see what you can do with a native garden. Well worth a visit

This is a simply wonderful reclaimed place that was overrun with blackberry and other noxious weeds. Bill and Margaret have restored it by planting and preserving thousands of native plants which flourish among the whimsical artworks and Bill's poetry. We would love to have had more time here and hope to come back.

This was as boring as watching paint dry. Bill the owner seemed to be in a bad mood and bored also. His wife appeared to be doing all the hard work. Morning tea was put on for our tour, but for $12a person i think it should have been more than lamington fingers and monte carlo biscuits. I wouldn't recommend the hilly walking, sans guardrails if you have mobility problems. I felt very unsafe walking around. I can appreciate the hard work they have put lovingly into their garden, but they are not people persons.
