Visitors’ first experience is a front garden of mature banksias, wattles and other native shrubs, which nicely merge with the neighbouring garden and attract a number of native birds including gang gang and yellow tailed cockatoos and nesting wattle birds.  The stonework lined paths takes one on a journey around the house through a series of quiet sanctuaries including a meditation garden.  These are immersed in the shade of large Melia, Pear and ash trees and surrounded with planted beds with many shrubs and groundcovers including Correas, Hakeas, Poas, Xanthorrhoea and lomandras and a selection of Japanese maples. 

There are opportunities to quietly relax and to take in the gardens, the poultry run on the margin, art pieces and the adjacent Mount Taylor Nature Reserve.
