Beautiful place!!!

Recommended to go to this place by a friend. It’s really beautiful! Make sure to bring some snacks with you and you can enjoy them in the beautiful garden. The house itself is amazing, the tour guide was funny and fun. Great times here!

Not a good deal

A gold coin donation was all that was needed for entry to the gardens. Entry to the mansion was not included with my voucher, so it was a complete rip off!

Hidden gem in Melbourne

A short drive from Melbourne CBD, the historic property is worth a visit. Rippon Lea Estate offers a rich history combined with well-maintained gardens. Recommended for great experience.
