My husband and I went to the gardens on a Wednesday morning and we were the only ones there ! !

A beautiful place
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/26/04
Perfect for a half day trip, plenty to see and plenty to photograph at the centre is a large greenhouse with very high humidity and it's own waterfall to recreate a tropical rainforest. Other greenhouses have cacti, orchids and ferns. After here travel a few metres down the main road and you come to a group of small restaurants on the bank of a stream at the roadside, excellent food and not expensive!
