The staff were definitely a highlight for us. My friend and I both had different planting needs and the staff really knew their stuff. They spent time with us and made sure we got what we needed. The sale helped us too as we could really stock up. Our brekky at the cafe was also AMAZING! Such a lovely vibe at Fairhill again and wonderful to see all ages enjoying the space.

Hi I love what you are doing with the extended eating area and think it is wonderful that you are supporting local farmers, artists, artisans by selling their products and art in your store (i am one of your artisans ☺️). We love having coffee with friends in the garden and staff are always welcoming and friendly. I think getting animals in for kids to pat is a great idea and gives kids a nice farm experience. One suggestion - Last time we visited we went for a walk around the bush up passed the cafe and found it a bit unclear of exactly were we could and couldnt go. We also went down to dam and walked back up driveway to carport which was quite lovely but found it was a bit short and thought it might have been nice to have had a longer walk...but we still think it's a lovely place to visit and great to see a local small business giving it a good go 😊.

Recently our German Conversation Class had lunch at the Fairhill Adventure Gardens, and we enjoyed the peaceful surroundings, the sound of native birds combined with the laughter of children, softly clucking chickens and bleating goats. The young lady who served the yummy food was lovely and quickly rearranged the seats and tables for us so that we could sit in the shade of trees and umbrellas. Many thanks to her and to the whole team! It's a beautiful spot, and I am sure we will be back.

We had a lovely lunch, browsed the shop etc. It's a lovely place, the plants are well cared for & we could feel the care the owners have for it. I found it not so user friendly when it came to pushing mum's wheelchair.

Great spot for a morning family outing, delicious food and lots of room for the kids to play. Beautiful setting among the native gardens.
