An intact example of 19th century suburban high life, the National Heritage Listed Rippon Lea Estate is like a suburb all to itself, an authentic Victorian mansion amidst 14 acres of breathtaking gardens.
Enjoy exploring the sweeping heritage grounds complete with a picturesque lake and waterfall, an original 19th-century fruit orchard and the largest fernery in the Southern Hemisphere.
Plus, keep your eyes peeled for the Gruffalo’s latest hideout. Open all year, Rippon Lea Estate is Victoria’s grandest backyard.
Gorgeous scenery. Pack a picnic!
Great day out with the kids! Beautiful gardens and lots to see.
A gold coin donation was all that was needed for entry to the gardens. Entry to the mansion was not included with my voucher, so it was a complete rip off!
A short drive from Melbourne CBD, the historic property is worth a visit. Rippon Lea Estate offers a rich history combined with well-maintained gardens. Recommended for great experience.
