Thinking of a Trip to the Mountains this Long Weekend?
There is still a beautiful splattering of colour across what we call the pre-winter garden.
The Autumn kaleidoscope might be duller, but there is still a great horticultural experience to be had at Mayfield this week and into the long weekend.
Also come for some great regional food and wine or just grab a warm drink after an invigorating walk.
Our garden café will be popular this long weekend so make sure you book a table, and it is always a good idea to book your garden tickets in advance.
As usual we will be open every day from 9.00am–4.30pm
Stargazing - Book now for September school holidays
Anyone staying in our glamping tents between Monday 28 September 2026 and Friday 9 October 2026 will enjoy a FREE expert-guided tour of the night sky!
Glamping guests will be guided by passionate astronomy hosts who blend science, storytelling, and a relaxed atmosphere to create a night that is equal parts educational and unforgettable.
Guests enjoy high quality telescopes, laser guided tours of the sky, and plenty of opportunities to ask questions while discovering the beauty of Australia’s dark skies.
A spectacular 65-hectare private garden that delivers not only a significant horticultural experience but also a day out that is both magical and unexpected.
Mayfield Garden is considered to be one of the the largest and most spectacular cool climate gardens in the Southern Hemisphere.
Mayfield is Australia’s largest privately-owned, cool climate garden. It remains a living legacy of the Hawkins family who took much of their inspiration for this project from several of Europe’s most significant horticultural destinations.
Mayfield Garden has also recently announced that it is opening its full 65-hectare garden every day, commencing in 2024, which means you can visit our maze, chapel, stumpery, aviary, garden rooms and every other feature across the garden anytime you walk through the gate at Mayfield.
We think it is an exciting milestone in the evolution of Mayfield Garden, and it puts us in synch with all other major horticultural destinations throughout the world
Visitors can also enjoy a unique regional dining experience at Mayfield’s garden restaurant, and it also offers a luxurious glamping experience during its Spring, Autumn and Summer festivals.
Located on the NSW Central Tablelands, Mayfield Garden is a two to three hour drive from Sydney and a 75-minute drive from Katoomba, through the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains.
A garden that is both magical and unexpected.
