The Garden and its Wonders.....

Tucked away on a secluded estate adjoining Penrose State Forest,
The Vale is a hidden gem nestled among the gardens of the Southern Highlands.

The crown jewel of the garden is its Tasmanian rainforest, featuring 20 stunning specimen tree ferns with a combined total of more than 2,000 years of growth.

The Vale is home to a diverse array of animals, including two alpacas that watch over a flock of Dorper sheep. Chickens, Indian Runner ducks, two Labradoodles, and a cat can also be seen exploring the grounds.

An older orchard, along with two younger ones, is scattered throughout the grounds. The best time to visit is late summer, when most of the trees are bearing ripe fruit. Peaches, figs, quinces, and apples are just a few of the delicious produce you can enjoy at The Vale.
