The garden here at Acara is a labour of love!
If you are a keen gardener you will know - there is always something to do!
We are constantly developing and growing our garden - with everything from indigenous species to the rare and unknown!
And at the last count we had over 100 roses growing in the garden!
We are keen to make the most of the views, the tranquility and the birdlife here.
There are a variety of places to stop, to sit, and to relax.
From the cool stone seat underneath the tree in our vegetable patch, to the rose-covered pergola or simply on the grass or in the hammock underneath our willows.
There are also walks through our paddocks and across the streams.
There are beautiful mountain views from almost everywhere in the garden.
We invite you to share them!
