The Friendship Garden was in a state of incipient spring bloom when we went recently. The day was warm and the blossoms were out, so very charming scenes unfolded before our eyes!
Thank you for visiting us again and leaving such awesome feedback! It is so wonderful to hear that your visit was enjoyable and you were fond of emerging blooms and charming scenes! Please visit us again soon. Best wishes
We were jetlagged and tired. The hotel didn't have room for us for another 5 hours. We followed our instincts and walked towards Darling Harbour and found this haven of natural and man-made beauty. It was tranquil. It was slow-paced. It was just what we needed.
For everything they squeeze in there. It's quite compact. You don't just stand in one place and admire, though. There are various paths through the place and we wandered at will, taking in new vistas and new features at every turn.
We found touches from other Asian countries, not just China, presumably gifts from civic dignitaries passing through. There was also a certain amount of Australian fauna passing through - our first encounter with the wonderful birds of New South Wales.
There were quite a lot of people there but, thanks the artificial hills and meandering paths, it never felt crowded, just relaxing and warm. In our jetlagged state, it was life-restoring.
So wonderful to hear that you found some needed rest inside our beautiful Garden and thank you for finding time to leave your feedback, which we very much appreciate. Wishing you safe travels and best wishes
This spot is in the heart of Sydney but you would know it when wandering around. It is so well set out with little spots to sit and relax. Worth a visit.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback and 5* ranking! It is so wonderful to hear that you enjoyed your visit. Best wishes
Great value at $6.00 to get in. The gardens are beautiful and well laid out with many ponds and waterfalls. The ponds are full of Koi and on nearly every rock you will find a water dragon sunning itself. Great place to wander around or just sit quietely and relax. Wish my backyard was big enough to recreate parts of it.
Thank you so much for your time and your lovely feedback! We look forward to welcoming you back to "tranquil haven" very soon! Best wishes
Such beautiful gardens to visit within the city. The admission is really reasonable to have a little break for an hour from the busy city life. If you are in Darling Harbour area make sure you pay a visit here. You won't be disappointed. Even my 2 teenage sons enjoyed it (especially watching the lizards).
Thank you for your great review and recommendation! We love that our visitors share the passion for our beautiful garden that has so much to offer, a serene oasis in a big city that is full of surprises. Hope you can visit us again soon! Best wishes
