An iconic tourist attraction that is nestled in the Dandenong Ranges of Melbourne, lies the 104 acre, internationally renowned, Rhododendron Gardens of Olinda. Within the Gardens, 15,000 rhododendron flowers twinkle year-round, together with over 12,000 Azaleas, 3000 Camellias, and 250,000 Daffodils. The Gardens are also adorned with a large ornate lake, forest valleys embroidered with tree ferns, and the fantastical Mountain Ash. With seasonal flowers blooming at different times of the year, a visit to the gardens will be met with much delight as there is bound to be flowers to admire all year round!

Best enjoyed with your loved ones and a tantalizing picnic, stroll through the paved grounds and enjoy the tranquility and sensuality of the Gardens. The Gardens are best appreciated during Springtime, where its Cherry Tree Grove bursts into full life, inspiring the annual vivacious Cherry Blossom Festival. Before you leave, do not miss the thrilling views of the Dandenongs yawning over Yarra Valley just beyond the Grove.
