It was a rainy day so we had to keep dodging the showers. The gardens walks were lovely to have a nice stroll. We would have liked to have had a morning coffee but there was a coach party in who were being entertained with a piper, haggis ceremony etc.

This is a well-signposted but very quiet place. Its a true woodland garden and reminds me of similar in England. Lots of well-laid out paths througgh the woodland, with a few cottages of pottery and craft etc dotted about. They also have some impressive looking cafe and restaurant buildings, which sadly were closed when we were there on a weekday... More

Nothing special about this place. A run down facility that could do with some TLC and refurbishment. Fine for a stroll around but not worth the suggested donation fee.

This is a beautiful garden. There are wonderful shady areas and lots of examples of naturalistic planting. The gallery and gift shop are well-stocked. The pottery shed is wonderful. And, the cafe had some very tasty treats.

Glenfalloch's at its best in Spring, as all the rhododendrons are out now, plus blossom and Spring flowers. It's a great spot to stroll or picnic in, and has its own cafe too. Worth checking out the Potters Cottage at the top of the garden. A good spot for both adults and children. Wonderful on a sunny day. Clean public... More

Situated on the Otago Peninsula, it is worth the drive from Dunedin just to visit and have a meal at the restaurant and to look at the homestead and the extensive gardens. It can be a lunch stop on the way to the Albatross Colony. The location exudes peace and natural beauty affording glimpses of the Otago Harbour through the... More

We took our toddler here, hoping to find space for him to run around before we settled down on a lawn for a picnic. We soon discovered that it's mostly made up of tracks up a hill and the only real picnicing space is what you see as you drive in. Although the tracks are lovely, they do seem disorganised,... More

We stopped here on our way around the Otago peninsula. There wasn't anyone about but we enjoyed our short walk around the gardens. Worth a visit as it's just off the main route round the peninsula.
