While the 15 hectare  Mayfield Garden is open 363 days of the year (closed 25 & 26 December), the Hawkins family opens its private garden to visitors during seasonal festival periods.

We recommend arriving when we open at 9am and give yourself a minimum of 4 hours during the Autumn Festival. Last garden entry is 3pm. The garden closes at 4:30pm.

WHAT TO BRING

We recommend wearing closed walking shoes and dressing for the weather which might mean bringing a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and an umbrella. Being located in the tablelands a sweater or jacket is recommended year-round. 

WHAT TO EAT

Mayfield Garden Restaurant is open from 9.00am, serving our fresh, seasonal menu until 3,.00pm and snacks through to 4:30pm  We definitely recommend booking a table in advance if you would like to join us for lunch.  There are other food outlets available both inside and outside the garden, including our popular Maze Cafe.
