“Great Morning on Easter Sunday”

I can just support what has been written below. Our family consisted of 3 generations who were thoroughly entertained for 2 hours whilst we walked through the estate. Don’t expect green perfection, the gardens on the estate can be rustic and some trees impacted by drought. The views are gorgeous. We were amazed at the work that has been completed, and the generosity & good nature of Nick and Anne Maree, particularly their willingness to share their story in developing the estate. Kids will enjoy the walk & the animals (so did grandpa who generally has a short attention span!)

“A secret gem not to be missed”

Our family (3 generations) visited this amazing place a few weeks ago. What is not to like – animals, amazing gardens, water views and a feeling of being transported to another world! My daughters (ages 8 & 10) were completely besotted by all the gorgeous animals with which they were allowed to interact. Annmaree was wonderful with the girls, allowing them to have a very meaningful hands-on experience and was so welcoming and warm. As for the gardens (Nick’s masterpieces), it will completely astound you when you see what this man has created from paddocks and to hear the stories that inspired his work.

I must admit that I was hesitant to write a review (for fear the place will become overrun with tourists like other gardens on the peninsula) but Nick and Annmaree assured me that they are planning to keep the numbers capped so that visitors can experience their oasis in peace and tranquillity.

We will be back!

“Chicken Soup for the Soul”

So many amazing nooks and crannies to experience at Panorama Garden Estate. The beautiful Mornington weather gave way to what I can only describe as a tranquil paradise. The proprietors; Nick and Annemaree made me feel more than welcome and allowed me to wander freely their stunning 55 acre property. Being a Yoga enthusiast, I took this opportunity to Take in the stunning view from the ‘Top Seat’ with some meditation and Yoga. It was a sheer joy to see the rare albino Kangaroos they have in their property grazing in the same field around me as I meditated. It definitely brought a tear to my eye. If you haven’t seen them, you really must!
From the conversation I had with Nick afterwards, the Gardens and animals will continue to grow as his intriguing mind continues to create more wonders throughout the property. I’ll most definitely be organising another walk through in the months to come to see what new animals have been added and gardens created. The experience was most definitely Chicken Soup for the Soul..

“Very Enjoyable Experience”

A lovely experience walking around extensive property enjoying the varied gardens and tranquility of the many terraced areas that have been developed by Nick. Spectacular views, interesting wildlife and in awe of the hard work needed to achieve this project. Warmly welcomed by Annmaree with cuppa and slice and then used map to wander around the different and interesting areas at our leisure.

“Awesome”

I have taken friends from overseas to the Panorama Garden this weekend. We were welcomed with tea, coffee and delicious cakes. The owners were absolutely lovely, passionate about animals and did all they could to give us the best experience. We had the opportunity to hold and feed baby wallaby and possum, hanging around up close with Sylvie the pig and lots of incredible animals. We then took a 2 hours walk across the manicured garden with outstanding views on the bay. I would recommend this tour to any nature lovers.
