Garden Visits

Redbrow Garden- guest comments:
'An incredible oasis. Complete relaxation and inspirational sanctary for all life'

' A perfect example of what can be achieved with vision and hard work. You have created a beautiful and relaxing world away from the world.'

' A joy to wake to the sound of birdsong in the morning. The beauty of the combination of water, stone and garden is inspiring and reflects deep understanding and artistry. We thank you for helping us celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary so well!'

'A place of abundant pleasures- the gardens, the lake, birds, butterflies, fruiting shrubs and trees. Our family enjoyed every moment at Redbrow and we appreciated the easy proximity to the country hospitality in the villages of Murrumbateman and Gundaroo'.

'We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Redbrow Garden. Now that I have discovered this beautiful place I will be back again with other relatives and friends'

'This B&B is like the secret gardens, a place we will remember as magical'

The garden is open by appointment only

Located in the midst of scenic undulating forest, grazing land and cool climate wineries, a bare and windy sheep paddock has been transformed into an unbelievable oasis of beauty and seclusion just 20 minutes from Australia's capital city, Canberra.

Redbrow Garden's rambling masterpiece provides seasonal kaleidoscopes of amazing colours, subtle textures and a wildlife haven of natural tranquility. Against a backdrop of Australian eucalypt woodland and the thriving wetland habitat of Redbrow lagoon, the garden combines numerous native and exotic trees, shrubs, bulbs and perennials. Named after the 'redbrow firetail' finches which inhabit the garden year round, the ornamental and productive sections of the garden express vibrant exuberance in spring, extraordinary hues of gold, bronze and burgundy in autumn as well as providing shady relief in summer.

The 25 acre property also incorporates numerous examples of enterprises suitable for small acreages including rural guesthouse accommodation, free range egg production, horse agistment paddocks, berries, fruit trees, daffodils, wedding venue etc.

David's Comment

The lakeside garden has been the venue for an increased number of functions and weddings this year and has provided a spectacular display for each of those special occasions.This summer has been particularly challenging with low rainfall, high temperatures and the associated fire hazard. A very dry autumn this year which has meant stunning colours including the Manchurian Pears, Liquid Ambers, Canadian Maples etc etc.

The garden remains open by appointment throughout the year for individuals and groups.Simply contact us to confirm dates and times. Entry $10 per person.

A comprehensive information booklet on the development of the farm and garden is available as free download (see above).

News at Redbrow

  • <b>The female (or young male) Satin Bowerbird above left, appeared in the garden on April 22 2013. Surprising given their normal habitat. We are delighted that our extensive and densely planted garden appeals to such an interesting bird, adding to an already extensive bird list of over 100 species!!

    Our recent extensions and improvements mean better facilities for our guests whether staying for a few hours or a few days
