We had five adults and a one year old baby in a pram to go to Ashcombe Maze to celebrate my partner’s mum’s birthday last December. This was the second time I went there in past 2 years. First time when I went with my partner, we found plenty of blackberries by the lake were in season, so we gathered... More

This place really is wonderland. We had our wedding here during the day, enjoying the beautiful gardens and then a marquee reception with plenty of food for guests. It was simply stunning, the perfect backdrop for a fairytale wedding. It was so well organised, Tracey does a fantastic job, very efficient and Arthur was so lovely. More

The garden is well maintance, and the big maze is really really fun for adults and kids. My kids enjoy the lavender garden the most, as they can see us, and have fun in finding their way out. A very peaceful and tranquil place, we don't mind to drive back to there. The cafe have nice food and coffee, also,lavender... More

Visited the mazes with a friend and we had lots of fun. The Hedge maze had us going round in circles but the lavender and rose hedges lost us the most. Something that is see through and you think is simple to get through had us baffled!! After all the hard work (!!) I treated myself to their scones with... More

While it is a little expensive for what you get. The mazes and the gardens are really pleasant to spend time in. We recently went there on a day that was 34 degrees celsius, it was hot, but the shade provided by the gardens combined with the fountains and water systems made it bearable and pleasant. They have an activity... More

Went purely for the maze. There were 2 and for the most part, fun however hedges did not seem "happy" with parts of hedges dried and "twiggley". Big grounds but not much to cover. Spend about 2 hours here. Lavender Garden lacked manicuring. Pot gardens not much to it. Rock gardens - fairly disappointing. Lotus/Lily pond sparse. A$17.50 per adult... More

We spent a wonderful time at the Ashcombe maze. if you enjoy visiting gardens then you will enjoy a trip to this place. We went there on a day trip with a tour group which allowed us to enjoy the scenery rather than self drive. The rains had just stopped and it added to this magical gardens. There are 2hedge... More

I have been here a couple of times and it is a good family visit. A great hedge maze and you also can find dwarfs as an activity. A nice place with nice gardens. You'll love it. More
