Recently attended a wedding at the Botanic Gardens, which was such a beautiful back drop to the ceremony which was tucked away from the mini golf greens though unfortunately you cannot control other patrons at the venue therefore if there are children crying or screaming or big blokes being loud and obnoxious then unfortunately it is very much heard and intrusive - this is minor really. As the gardens have a dedicated function section off to the side of Leap Frogs allowing everything to be held at the same location removing the stress and need for guest to get themselves to another venue often with a significant wait time in-between, which allowed guests to relax and mingle. The staff were accommodating, friendly and considerate, very much ensuring the evening went smoothly. You would think the noise from the restaurant would be considerable but it can barely be heard with in the marquee. At night time the place is lit up with the most beautiful lights in and around the trees and gardens, it is stunning and walking though the grounds once the mini-golf at night when all the golf has ceased and closed to the general public, it is enchanting. Pizza as always was good,not the best but good. The fries as always amazing. Highly recommend. The venue is lovely and relaxed fun...
Read moreMy son and wife were married here last Friday. 19/10/24 The gardens were so well presented and maintained.
The staff at the reception were welcoming, professional, and very accommodating. I'll be honest, I didn't eat much, so I can't comment on the food, but what i did have was great, and the drink service was on point.
Guests were able to play a round of mini golf whilst the photos were taken or sit by the bar, which they told me was enjoyable.
This is the only photo they've released, but with such beautiful gardens, I'm sure the rest will look amazing.
I only paid the drinks tab, so I couldn't comment on the total cost, but the tab was as expected for the size of our guests and the length of time spent here.
For such an important day, their choice really paid off. For context, we have been to terrible weddings. I 100% recommend this place, the day was perfect.
Thanks again to all the staff and organisers who helped my son and daughter-in-law enjoy their...
Read moreThis is a review for the magic of christmas event - not the golf/gardens the rest of the year. We've been coming every year for the last 6 + years to play glow golf at christmas - still far too many people allowed in. The fb page said sold out, yet they were still allowing people to buy passes on the gate - we saw people paying for sightseeing wristbands at the gate. Our golf (which cost $135 for 6 of us) was stressful and spoilt by people ( children AND adults) walking across/through the putting greens whilst we were playing. We only played half, then left and went home because it was too crowded and busy. Maybe they need to ditch the golf at christmas time, or fence off the putting greens as people obviously can't be trusted to do the right thing. Or move some of the big light installations that people were queuing up for photos away from the golf holes, as it was very congested. Or just sacrifice the mighty dollar, and let...
