you need to know:
ACCESSIBILITY - Eryldene’s garden is largely as it was when Professor Waterhouse and his family lived here, with winding garden paths of historic flagstones and bricks, which are uneven. Most parts of the garden are accessible without steps, via sandstone paved paths and across our lawns. However, our historic paths are uneven, narrow and winding in places, so visitors do need to take care. For ease of navigating the gardens and coordinating morning tea, we divide larger tour groups into smaller groups of 10-15 people.
