Nooroo Garden Mount Wilson — Attraction in Mount Wilson

Even though when I went it was a bit late (7th of June), I felt the garden was too cold compared to the other one such as Wyndyridge. Wasn't worth the entry fee of $10 for a small garden and not much to see. Perhaps it would be better to adjust the pricing according to the current condition of the garden.

I am adding this in response to the owner's response because Google Review doesn't allow a reply in thread.

To clarify, I did not imply Windyridge was bigger than Nooroo. I meant it felt much warmer when I got to the entrance of Windyridge. Perhaps it has something to do with the direction the gardens faces. I would rather spend more time in Windyridge if I got there first.

Because the entry fee was already spent in Nooroo (for 3 people), we hesitated to visit Windyridge, knowing that there will be limited things to see as we were late in the season.

I simply suggested that if the entry fee could be adjusted according to the current condition of the garden it would be better for guests who could not make it in April or May. Otherwise, it's best to visit the gardens in an earlier...

Extremely Disappointing Experience – Unwelcoming and Unprofessional!

I was genuinely excited to explore this garden, especially to capture a moment with one of the beautiful maple trees before even entering the main area. As a content creator who has visited and promoted countless gardens, this one was the last on my list and unfortunately, it turned out to be the most unwelcoming.

Before even reaching the entrance, someone screamed at me, saying I needed a ticket just to take a photo near a tree. Seriously? I hadn’t even stepped inside yet, I was simply exploring the perimeter. The entire area is packed with maple trees, and I would’ve gladly supported this garden through content promotion, as I’ve done for many others even for free!

Instead, I was met with a rude, greedy, and childish attitude that completely ruined the experience. There was zero hospitality or respect. If this is how they treat potential visitors and creators who could help promote their space, I can confidently say they will never get another chance to host me or anyone I influence.

It is a large private garden established in 1880 on a mostly flat landscape. It's about 2 to 3 hours drive from Sydney in the Blue Mountains area. The house on the property was built from local pit-sawn timber and is typical of its period. The summer house was built in a matching style in 1980 to commemorate the centenary of the garden. You can take public transport to get here but driving is best. In spring and autumn it has magic colours. It's a popular place, need to go early to avoid the heat. Fair bit of walking around, some under shade. Some uneven terrain in places. Wear comfy shoes, take water, wear hat, sunscreen. Entry fees apply. Lovely place for picnic. Street parking is outside property. Great place for photography. On site cafe provides snacks, beverages and other foods. Friendly staff and...
