Blue Lotus Water Garden

Place is nice and flowers are beautiful. However experience is ruined at the end.

Me and my son had go to the main entry as my son is already getting hot

We just need to take water from the car but they would not allow us as my wife have ithe tickets and they are still on the trail. We also cant go to the gift shop which is literrally just 1m from the entry

Amazing though it was really hot on the day when we visited if it would be a lil cloudy then it would be much better and then we can stay for more time.

Stunning garden.
Worth to visit and checking out the variety of lotus species here.
Spent a half day in here walking around with all the gorgeous lotuses.
Plants available for sale at the entrance are very handy.snacking on their deep-fried lotus root concludes the trip perfectly.

There are probably a million reviews of this gorgeous garden. Not sure I'll highlight anything that others haven't before me, so I suppose I'll add a personal touch. I'd seen a few social media posts over the years and kept telling myself I'd go "one of these years". When I finally went in 2023 I wondered why it took me so long to get there. It's a wonderful place. So many corners to explore, beautifully laid out and so photogenic. They have a reasonable amount of parking, a cafe, a gift shop - but it is the lotus flowers, lakes and landscapes that are the highlight. If you haven't been, I'd highly recommend it. (Though they only open at certain times of the year.)

This review is for the Garden cafe as its in there.

The food (veg. Borchetta) was pathetic by taste and $$ value; See the pic; is what you get for $20 i.e. Slices of bread and chopped onion and tomato on top - raw and tasteless. Such a horrible waste of money and time.
No wonder we saw everyone else carrying their own food with themselves.

What a lovely place to spend an afternoon at. Some parts need a bit of love but the majority of the park is well-maintained. Lots of lotus flowers and buds. Great for anyone who loves flowers.

Would be nice if they had family packages but ticket prices were not extortionately high.

Took mum to this place for Chinese New Year and she intended to only check out the nursery, but I offered to get tickets for the giga garden. Absolutely gorgeous views all around and a great place for a walk. You got gift shops, cafes, seating and shade everywhere, bbq grills, and perhaps some of the most abnormally clean public toilets I've ever seen.
A heads-up: it can get pretty warm and sunny though they provide free umbrellas and some hats for sale. Parking wasn't too bad - I recommend getting there early between 10am-12pm.
For a 1.5 hour drive it was worth it to see mum enjoy herself so much.

Such a beautiful place. Only open between December to April. Worth taking a picnic basket. They have so many huts with picnic tables

I had the pleasure of visiting this lotus garden and it was an absolute treat for the senses. The garden is vast and beautiful, with gorgeous bridges and views around every corner. It's the perfect place for a leisurely stroll or for photography. The garden is well-maintained and the staff were all very positive and welcoming. I highly recommend this garden for anyone looking for a serene and peaceful escape.

Great variety of lotus that you will ever get to experience. Nicely maintained and we had great time visiting. Also has spots for picnic and an on-site cafe' serving hot food.

Tranquil. Picturesque. Victoria’s own Monet gardens. Felt like we were in Hawaii with the mountains in the background & lush greenery. Spent about 2 hours here. Sufficient restrooms around the gardens and drinking taps as well. Great photo opportunities. Great for artists. Great for the kids with a Fairy & Dragon garden. They have picnic & BBQ facilities, a café, gift shop & nursery to purchase some of these beautiful lotus. Get there earlier to avoid the after lunch crowd.

This is a beautiful place to spend time with friends and family. There’s a cafeteria inside this place selling both hot and cold foods. It is a huge place. So, make sure you are arriving early with enough time to roam around. There are benches and tables with chairs almost all over the places. So, you can sit and take rest or enjoy your food while watching the views.

Staff is very rude. Wanted to ask her a question but she just ignored me and went on with others. And don’t come in Apr.there is nothing here. Bad experience. And I’m a water lily lover, even have a tattoo about it. Anyway, don’t recommend it here.

Relatively well set for a nice day for you and your family. Choose a day which is not too hot. Make sure you take your repelant, broad rim hat, sunglasses and sun screen. Will be good to take your food as well. The road is beautiful with fantastatic look-outs and view of farms, bushlands and green hills. However the chance of developing road sickness is high.

What a amazing experience! Untill you see the gardens up close you have no idea how amazing magical this place is! Perfect for family, some shopping, and even purchase your own pond and lotus plant to take home! Complete with cafe or bring your own picnic! You want a day out submerge yourself in the amazing lotus water garden!

Definitely worth to pay a visit here if you love lotus! They showcased variety and different species of lotus. Entrance fee is little pricey. Recommended to visit this place at the start of the season.

This place is amazing! Its a large well-maintained garden with gorgeous bridges and views. Great for photography or just a leisurely stroll.

The staff/owners were very warm and welcoming! Would definitely love to visit again when I get the chance.

Amazing! Had a wonderful day, the gardens are huge! Very well maintained, there is play equipment if you have kids, and I had great help in the nursery. Loved it.

This is a beautiful place to visit they have some rare collections of lotus. Plenty of huts for shade, bbq space and clean toilets. Downside tickets are a bit expensive, just one stall for eatery and wouldn’t recommend visiting on a hot day.

Absolutely beautiful. From the moment you enter the gardens you are transported back to a Balinese holiday. Staff are friendly and helpful. Facilities clean. Barbecues aplenty. Peaceful and serene. Loved it?
