The space
This property will appeal to anyone with a love of gardens and nature. Set within 24 acres of historical Dennarque Estate, the gardens are regarded by many as one of the best cold climate gardens in Australia. The gardens were originally designed over 135 years ago by the then Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney director, Charles Moore. The Gardens still retain a large number of original plantings that were introduced from various countries around the world planted in the late 19th Century. There are many rare species of maples, rhododendrons, camellias, dahlias and many old tree ferns which grace the gardens. Rarely open to the public, Dennarque Estate is now available to in-house guests staying at Koonawarra.

Guest access
Guests can enjoy the 24 acres of gardens, play a game of tennis, or wander through the many garden paths. Parking is available in the designated parking area outside the house.
