Australian Native Contemporary Garden

Relax in the multi-layered native garden filled with many species of Correas and Eremophilas, with a dramatic back drop provided by the Manna Gums (Eucalyptus viminalis). Bird song fills the air as Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos fly overhead, and small native finches and spinebills search for nectar filled flowers. Grevillea, Westringia, Callistemons, Hakeas and hardy Banksias offer a safe shaded, foraging space, maintaining a healthy local ecosystem that sustains birds and insects. Lomandra and Dianella species offer structural elements and groundcovers provide a dense interwoven network.

There is open space to breathe the clean and crisp fresh air and gaze at the ever changing skies, with night skies providing clear sightings of the Moon, the visible planets, and bright open clusters.

Additional Queen Bed
