“Gardens full of surprises”
Visited these gardens and was amazed at every turn. One garden followed onto the next and we were constantly surprised when they kept opening to yet another garden. The views that unfolded as we walked were amazing looking west to the horizon over Port Phillip Bay and Bass Straight. The kids loved all the animals and being able to nurse and pat the small ones. It was the first time I saw white kangaroos, who knew there where???

“A wonderland”
This is a new must do on the Mornington Peninsula. Extensive gardens with sweeping views and the most amazing collection of super friendly animals. The owners are so sweet and enthusiastic. We loved it.

“Amazing Gardens.....Incredible views......Breathtaking”
My wife and I visited Panorama Garden Estate with our two young girls. We had a great afternoon, we were lucky with the weather, which allowed us to see the full beauty of this incredible garden attraction with fabulous views across Mornington Peninsula.
The animals were a big hit with the kids, as was the garden walk through the rainforest. You'd think you were in tropical queensland. Highly recommend this place for a visit.

“Byron bay family”
Entered the property and did not know what to expect. Greeted with a big smile and was shown around. First stop the animals .. they are everywhere. Sheep you can pat to silvie the pig who again you can touch and follows you around lol donkeys/chickens and even up close with alpacas plus plenty more. My 2yr old and 3yr old loved it! After this started a walk around the property .. it is mind blowing. . Nothing like i have ever seen before. The craftsmanship is incredible. Has spots where you can relax by the dam / rose gardens and universal garden and even better i call it jurassic park section whilst spotting a white kanga or even deer. I believe the cows are friendly too. 100% take a picnic and enjoy this property with ocean views. Thank you to the owners for allowing our family to have the best day out with nature on the mornington peninsula. 120% must do. Visited November 2015

“Panoramic Views”
Panorama Garden Estate is a private haven for those wishing to indulge themselves in a relaxing garden paradise. The secluded acreage private property has special aspects that provide an opportunity for special events, artists and photographers with delightful scenes, birds, kangaroos, deer, swans (just to name a few) and stunning landscapes. Adorned by many specially designed and crafted gardens, each unique in their own way, you'll be surprised at how much these gardens have to offer. Having already visited the property twice (once in Summer and again in Spring) I was lucky enough to see the gardens transform through two separate blooms. The gardens are still maturing and I look forward to visiting again and seeing how much it's changed.
