Nestled in the heart of Pemberton, Lakeside Garden Retreat is a captivating 6-acre garden oasis, lovingly cultivated by owners Sally and Charles. Originally a private project, their shared passion for plants and landscaping transformed these grounds into an attraction brimming with beauty, from vibrant native Australian flora to a cool-climate garden of azaleas and rhododendrons that burst with colour each season.

The gardens offer a peaceful escape for visitors, featuring ancient grass trees, a picturesque lake with a charming fountain, and numerous pathways ideal for an afternoon stroll. With a keen eye for design and detail, Sally and Charles maintain the garden as an inviting, open space, welcoming everyone who wants to immerse themselves in Pemberton’s natural beauty. Their warmth and hospitality add a personal touch, making every visitor feel like a cherished guest.

Lakeside Garden Retreat has become an admired attraction in its own right, frequently participating in events like the Australian Open Garden Scheme and the Festival of Country Gardens. During these events, visitors can explore the garden’s intricate layout and appreciate the thoughtful plant arrangements that highlight the area’s unique biodiversity. Be sure to check for opening times to ensure a visit when the gardens are in full bloom.

Though the gardens are the main attraction, the property also includes a cosy B&B, offering visitors an idyllic place to unwind among the gardens’ serene beauty. With a wood-fired heater, private deck, and modern amenities, it’s the perfect complement to a day spent exploring Pemberton’s natural wonders. But even if you’re not staying overnight, a visit to the gardens is a delightful experience, offering insight into the dedication Sally and Charles bring to each bloom and pathway.
