Amazing. The staff at the entrance were as welcoming and as calm as the place. The gardens are so well planned, maintained, welcoming and tranquil. Hidden pockets surprise you at every corner. I have never seen a maze on water. The place was also very educational. I cannot give the place the review it deserves, I will go again. Everyone needs to go. It is also an all age place. It also works if you want to visit alone and be lost in your own thoughts. I am not sure, however, how accessible the maze is for heavy wheelchairs. Weight and width. Thank you.

How can one describe the place and the experience? Absolutely stunning and unique! This garden is an art form - the water labyrinth is a highlight - and a fantastic way to relax. You can only find so many different water lilies and lotus flowers here. There is also a splendor of plants that grow close to the water and line the banks. You should plan at least an hour, preferably longer. There are also picnic areas to linger. We were lucky enough to be able to admire the newly developed area with its waterfalls. The plants are still in their infancy and you can already imagine the splendor in 3 years. We were also here outside of the holiday season and in the early evening. Being alone in this garden is a real pleasure.

A great visit in the summer time with gorgeous landscaped water gardens. Good for all the family including young children and babies. Make sure to go when the lots and Lillie’s are out as they are stunning.
