Memories Made at Glenfalloch

“Natarsha Bamblett’s Acknowledgement of Country at each of the 3 events at the MAV Technology conference where I was MC, was always fresh, appropriate for the setting and engaged and educated the audience. She made the audience feel like they were really part of the acknowledgement and not just observing. I would highly recommend it”
Lisa McAskill
"Absolutely fabulous venue. Lovely atmosphere, great service with very attentive staff. Food was superb. Big bonus was the accessibility, you can drive right round the back to drop off someone who has limited mobility, so she only had to walk about 10 metres from the car to her seat. We were a group of 30 and we didn't feel rushed, they were quite happy for us to sit and chat over a coffee.'
Cathy Weatherston
"Visited Glenfalloch Gardens for coffee and loved it. The café staff were attentive, friendly, and made me feel really looked after. The gardens are absolutely stunning, lush winding paths, vibrant blooms, and gorgeous harbour views. A perfect spot for a relaxing visit or even an event. Highly recommended!"

"Glenfalloch – A Slice of Nature’s Paradise! Wow, what a place! Glenfalloch is a true haven for nature lovers. Everywhere you look, there’s lush greenery and vibrant,colourfull flowers that make the surroundings feel like a living painting. The gentle sounds of birds singing and water softly waving create a serene atmosphere, perfect for relaxing and reconnecting with nature. Walking around, you can enjoy the fresh fragrance of blooming flowers and breathe in the pure, crisp air. It’s a delight for the senses! Children will have a blast on the trampoline, while adults can simply soak in the peaceful, natural beauty. Just wish they can have more vegetarian options. The duck potatoes were an absolute treat – fresh and delicious! Everything about Glenfalloch feels so close to nature, making it a perfect spot for a family day out or a quiet retreat. Highly recommend for anyone looking to escape the city and immerse themselves in the beauty of the outdoors."
Sonia Singroha
"We had the most wonderful afternoon tea made specially for us to celebrate a special birthday, the whole experience was first-class, right from our booking with Diane, the food from the kitchen and the waitstaff. The gardens were looking so good, really nice to be able to walk freely around them. Thank you for a great day, Glenfalloch"
Alison B
"Attended my son's wedding here recently, cannot fault anything about this wonderful place. Fantastic owner, fantastic staff, beautiful surroundings and absolutely amazing food. Would highly recommend a visit."
Carol Elworthy
I love how you can walk off lunch through the tracks around the established garden. A peaceful and calm experience.
Lynn Rodeka
"A wonderful spot for a meal out. There is excellent parking and the gardens are well worth a walk around. The restaurant is spacious with views of the gardens. Friday night but wasn't too busy. There was live music (a lady playing guitar and singing, nice background and not too obtrusive). A good menu and the food was good and hot. reasonable wine list (not limited to Pinot!). All in all a pleasant anniversary evening."
David Tordoff
"The perfect spot for a relaxed lunch in a stunning iconic venue. Delicious fresh fish cooked to perfection accompanied with a glass of bubbles ,absolutely delightful. Congratulations to all of the staff for providing first class service.Make sure you allow time for a stroll around the gardens ,you just won’t want to leave."
