I’m always happy to visit Fairhill. Usually I have a coffee and buy a plant or two. The range available is still expanding. I look forward to being able to purchase more flowering Natives, and I’d like to see some Australian themed garden ornaments. The staff are very friendly and it’s very pleasant to sit in the garden.

The great food and coffee is the reason I regularly meet up with my friend for a catch up in the Cafe. What makes it extra special is the gardens and how relaxing the ambience is.

Totally professional and knowledgeable advice on what to plant for our new septic system given in a friendly, open manner that made the experience very pleasant. Followed by a coffee and lunch...thank you! We also had a car club lunch on a day, which was low key and relaxing in the sun.

Fairhill Gardens at Ninderry is a true hidden gem. The whole-food meals are fresh and delicious, complemented by mineral water served at the table. The beautiful natural surrounds, with mature trees, a lake, goats, chickens, and abundant wildlife, create a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere. It’s incredibly family-friendly, with fun entertainment and plenty of space to relax and enjoy nature. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful. A special mention to Angela, the manager, who is an absolute angel and makes everyone feel valued and at home. Highly recommended!

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.
