“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.

“A perfect day out in paradise”
WOW we had such a wonderful day. A visit to this exquisite property is a must. We took a picnic and spent the afternoon. Nick and AnneMarie were wonderful hosts and made us feel so welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed the close up contact with the animals. The girls were thrilled to have a cuddle with a baby wallaby and I fell in love with Sylvie the pig. She is such a character! We saw wild deer and white kangaroos while wandering through all of the beautiful gardens. The stonework, sculptures and and character of each garden is just beautiful. And I marvelled at the abundance and variety of plants. Every garden was like stepping into another world. It was lovely that they only do small groups at a time so we had the place all to ourselves and could wander through at our own pace. It it truly paradise and the views are stunning...especially from Top seat and Pete's lookout. There is so much to see and enjoy...we will be back soon for sure!

“Spectacular family day!”
Had the best time! Unique experiences, breathtaking views, amazing gardens, very friendly people! My kids loved the up close experiences with Ned the wallaby and Sylvie the pig and the dogs...all with their own wonderful personalities. The Easter egg was the icing on the cake! Thanks Annemaree and Nick ?

“Hidden gem”
I visited Panorama Estate with my wife, we were very pleasantly surprised by our experience. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel very welcome by our hosts. My wife, an animal lover was very pleased to be able to hand feed the animals, sheep, pigs, baby wallaby and the highlight bottle feeding a baby ringtail possum. What Nick has achieved with the terraced gardens is amazing. The only downside was the rain, but Nick found us and provided umbrellas. Definitely worth a second visit when the weather is better.
