A peaceful garden planted to encourage birds. There are 2 ponds with islands connected by a waterfall, a vegetable and herb garden and orchard.

Head Gardener's Comment

Aramatai Gardens are situated within a beautiful valley surrounded by amazing hills, being undulated provides it with interesting contours of plantings that consist of various exotic & weeping trees, natives, Rhododendrums, Camellias, Roses, Parennials, Irises, Lillies, plus two large natural ponds & rock formations and their associated plants & fauna.

It also features a vegetable garden, sunken garden, fruit & nut orchard, extensive lawns and walkways.

Our beautiful garden is peaceful, tranquil and restful with many rustic seats whereby they provide you opportunities to relax and view our lovely surroundings.

This is an oasis just off a main highway where stresses can be forgotten in amongst nature at its best.
