The award-winning Annsleigh Gardens and Café is located at Burnie, on Tasmania’s northwest coast. The Gardens are a 10-minute (10 kilometre) drive south of Burnie’s city centre.
Described as the ‘garden of ideas’, the two-hectare (five-acre) English garden has been nurtured from the soil of a bare sheep paddock over a 17-year period. The garden features a profusion of flowering and ornamental trees, shrubs, plants and bulbs. You can stroll through landscaped walks of cherry blossom, camellia, wisteria and laburnum. Breathe in the fragrance of mass plantings of roses, relax in the gazebo or revisit colonial times in the cottage garden. Beds of rhododendrons, daffodils, azaleas, camellias, and blossom trees are woven among rockeries, dry stone walls, ponds and water features.
After enjoying the gardens you can sit down to a home-cooked snack in the tearooms, or perhaps purchase some locally-made arts and crafts. The gardens and tearooms have access for people with a disability, and coach or group bookings are always welcome.
Annsleigh Gardens has received a number of state and national awards and has been featured in national magazines and television programs including Your Garden, Better Homes and Gardens and Home Beautiful.
