Kaydale Lodge

We were thrilled to stumble upon this magnificent, lovingly nurtured exquisite garden. Lesley welcomed us warmly and was very happy to talk about her family garden. The $10 entry was well worth it!

What a absolutely wonderful place, very reasonably priced morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea and so tasty with portion sizes to die for. The conserves, jams, honey and relishes available to be purchased all grown and made in house are very reasonably priced and delicious. If you have time drop in and see for yourself.

I visited a while back but friends recently booked in and said they had a marvellous experience. Hospitality and scenic beauty. Allow more travel time than navigation or Google suggest. The roads are narrow, hilly and bendy‼️

Leslie displayed great hospitality. The scones and Rhubarb cake served for the morning tea was out of the world. Ambiance was excellent. We didn’t have time to visit the garden but from what we saw it was in excellent condition!

We loved it so much that we went back again just after Christmas Day 2024. My comment below was during our visit in September 2024. This garden is simply magical. I have made a promise to always visit every time I am in Launceston. After all, there's varieties of gorgeous flowers in every season. To have experienced them all would be magical! Amazing garden, and the sisters are simply super talented artists! I can't wait to return! _____________________ Keydale Lodge and Gardens was my serendipity. I didn't expect to find this place while on vacation in Penguin. But what a treasure! I definitely added this in my bucket list when the peonies are in full bloom. Such a beautiful garden. All the hard work and passion you can see it everywhere. Such magnificent garden, well designed. The host was so warm and hospitable. Our lunch was so delicious! I shall return. What a blessing to find this beautiful garden and lodge.

Very relaxing comfy place, refreshing light lunch and afternoon tea,rhubarb cake👌, very reasonably priced, beautiful gardens, personal favourite was the wisteria pavillion and the Pear walk. A credit to the family.

We actually went here by mistake, but glad we did. The garden is beautiful, also has parts where you can have a swing and even a nap on the basket swing. Also there were 2 ragdoll cats that might say hi to you (one is rather shy but one will ask you for a belly rub). The sisters were very friendly and would chat to you. When we went, the cafe was never empty, and just got more and more crowded the later the day goes. When you see their kitchen, it’s such a nice homey but also very nice kitchen. You can also see what they are preparing which all looks beautiful. We had some scones and tea and they were beautiful. We were just really surprised how long we ended up staying there, just such a relaxing day. Would be really lovely place to stay which such great cafe and view of garden. You can also see massive amount of fruits and vegs they harvest.

One of the most spectacular gardens I've seen. Truly stunning. And many hidden delights with a zen garden, stone walls... also had a wonderful lunch there. Very friendly service. A must for a garden trail.
