Furphy’s Brasserie - Cowra

Absolutely beautiful! Even on winter, it was still colourful. Such well maintained grounds, and incredible plants. Love how there is a list of plants and numbers on the plants to tell you what they are. The view is incredible and the artefact exhibit is fantastic. Allow a couple of hours to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. Don't miss it if you are in Cowra!

We decided to make a detour to Cowra specifically to visit this garden, and we were not disappointed. The garden is absolutely stunning, spread out over several acres and meticulously maintained. The entry fee is very reasonable. It is also worth visiting the site of the prison camp and the war cemetery to fully understand the history behind the garden.

I regret not visiting the gardens earlier instead of just passing through Cowra. The grounds are pristine and perfect for a leisurely stroll, with the option to rent golf carts for those who prefer. The staff is welcoming, the pathways are smooth and well-maintained, and the varying elevations offer breathtaking views. The serene river, lake, and waterfalls add to the tranquil atmosphere. Bring a picnic and enjoy the spacious grassy areas for relaxation. Just be cautious on hot days as there is limited shade.

There just aren't enough stars. The gardens are exceptionally well kept and there are hidden vistas around most corners. Wonderful exhibitions, gift shop and manicured lawns and shrubs. The gardens are just beautiful. Unfortunately we left the cafe until after we had seen the gardens. It was supposedly closed for a function but not all the inside tables, or any of the outside tables, were set up. Even so, no room for two people who just wanted a cuppa and a treat. Maybe next time some signs telling other patrons that the cafe will be closed might be insightful. The cafe non-experience didn't detract from the gardens. One piece of advice. Two bags of duck/fish food won't be enough!

Truly unbelievable! We spent hours here walking around and taking in all of the intricate details. I think I could have spent several more and still not seen my fill. It was beautiful in Summer, I’d love to see it in Spring. It’s dog-friendly and has a reasonably priced admission fee. An absolute must visit.
