"Known internationally for its 22,000 rhododendrons, plus a curated collection of plants and trees organized into “countries”—complete with purpose-built lakes, waterfalls, bridges and gazebos—Emu Valley is a tranquil way to spend the day. You may even meet a local duck or grebe or, if you’re really lucky, an echidna or platypus. Not only a beautiful garden, it’s also a plant museum and heritage center: Many species of rhododendron have become endangered due to human activities."

Emu Valley is beautiful. We go there as often as we can. The scenery is wonderful and having your coffee while looking for the platypus is very relaxing. If you're not able to get around the gardens, you can book a buggy in advance and get a good look around that way. A very beautiful place to relax and if you're getting married, there's even a few places to choose from!

Though the site isn't massive, there was more to look at than we expected here. Tickets were $15 per adult. We spent an hour or two wandering around and taking photos of the plants, views and native wildlife. It's all quite pretty, though we didn't go between September and November for the peak flowering. The cafe has some local produce and delicious locally made ice cream. Overall a nice place to relax on a busy holiday, or for a local to get some peace and quiet.

Lovely little spot, $15 per adult without concession, very nice spot for a wander, spent around 2 hours here wandering about admiring the plants, bugs and little creatures. Quite enjoyed watching the bumblebees flying around gathering their pollen. But also was lucky spotting a Potoroo and what appeared to be an eastern barred bandicoot. Very nice would visit again.

This is a must see. Beautiful gardens and scenery. Need to be sure-footed as there are slopey paths but all well maintained. We saw platypus and echidna. Excellent cafe also with garden stuff.

We were a couple of many visitors viewing this garden, which showcases a spectacular array of Rhododendrons, annuals and perennials in an entire range of colours. The displays in early November are a “must see” and everywhere is an eruption of blooms. A highlight of northern Tassie.

Beautiful gardens and lovely cafe for a Devonshire tea afterwards! Highly recommend you partake in both the walk and the scones.

Was $15 entry which surprised me at first, but after walking through grounds you can tell that they’re well looked after. Also saw a few platypus’ and pademelons which was cool! I didn’t eat at the cafe but it smelt amazing when I walked past.
