  The gardens were lovely, and the oceans views delightful. The pop up Cafe served delicious sweets to die for. Can't wait for the original Cafe to be completed.

  Stunning views abound, the cafe which is housed in an old house has a small menu but made with quality ingredients (some from the gardens) we had the scones with jam and double cream and a pot of tea each then spent some time wandering the gardens then sitting on a bench under an arch for an hour admiring the view and enjoying the winter sun and peacefulness of the place. Worth the $10 entry fee for the whole family. We will definitely return.

  I don't know what's going on at Heronswood, but these photos I took say it all.
  
  It's fairly unkept, overgrown and there is no explanation as to why. We were told the restaurant in the garden was being renovated. Yet if you peek through the window, there is no evidence of that. The chairs are stacked up, but that's it.
  
  We were told the garden was being rested before Autumn, but there was no evidence of any work. Not even any clearing out of dead foliage. Even the walkway on the viewing platform was overgrown and in need of clearing given people were using it - and the little lake now just a bed for algae.
  
  Maybe they can't find or afford the staff they need. Or maybe the Autumn thing is correct - but if it is, they're going to have to put in a massive effort.
  
  I am trying to be kind here and suggest that maybe we simply saw the garden at its worst. I hope they bounce back.
  
  Some of the earlier photos of the garden look fantastic - but if you are going to take group to see Heronswood, then it might be an idea to put it off for a few months. Especially as they are still charging the full entry fee ($15).
  
  The shop, by contrast, was hard to fault. The plants were well kept - which makes the state of the garden even more curious.
  
  I was going to give Heronswood one star - but agree with an earlier comment that the ocean view is wonderful and the shop was good - so that's why I bumped it to two.

  Great little place to visit if your wanting to purchase a plant or have a cup of coffee, there is a very simple menu at the cafe and the gardens were very nice. There is a large fig tree, huge vegetable garden and flowers to look at. Kid friendly so they can run around and explore.
