Enjoy a free walk through Mother Nature that I would say is a must see if in the area. It is a good 20mins walk to reach the lake at the bottom of the hill where the picturesque boat shed is if you have moderate health and fitness.
There are two ways to reach there - the gravel winding road which has a moderate incline the second way to go up or down is via some stairs on a small walkway on the right hand side which has a hand rail for most part.
There are some great photo spots and interesting things to look at along the way. As well as open spaces for the kids to run off some energy or rolly-polly down the hill. Once there there are some little gardens and water features and if lucky enough can go over the little bridge onto the island- weather dependent as it can be slippery when wet and the grass can be protected in the winter months. The spring or autumn months are fantastic time to enjoy the Alfred Nicholas Gardens, take a picnic to enjoy by the lake. Just be mindful of no waste collection down there so be prepared to respectfully carry your rubbish and take it home with you.
Coming back up takes much longer because the incline is surprisingly long. And you can’t help but notice the beautiful Art Deco cruise ship inspired Burnham Beaches building which was a children’s hospital at one point during the war, I believe, on the way back up. And if you didn’t explore the little gardens and ponds when you first walked in on the left hand side (or right hand side on the way back) then it certainly takes a bit more time coming back. I recommend the stairs to go down and follow the winding path back up.
Ensure you have comfortable shoes and though you could take a pram - I wouldn’t unless it’s an all terrain even then I still wouldn’t do it. Best for able body people who are happy to walk (or shoulder rides for tired toddlers coming back) and enjoy the serenity. Also might want to go to the toilet at the top before you make your way down the bottom.
All up you’d probably spend a good 2-3hours

These are some wonderful Gardens to go visit in the heart of the Dandenong Ranges, you can enjoy a wide variety of plants, trees, flowers and birds, all while taking a look around, enjoying a picnic or just having fun in this picturesque location which is mostly ideal to go to in spring as that is when it's true beauty pops out. Definitely check this place out if you can.

Great family day outdoors.
Lots of beautiful plants & trees. Very scenic. The Lake is the star of the gardens. Perfect for a picnic & if the sun is shining I guarantee you will get some amazing photos out of it.
The hike back up from the lake can be a little tiring for those who arent used to walking up steep pathways. Also can be tricky for parents with little ones who need prams.
Overall this place is worth the visit.

My wife and I visited this place during our recent holiday in the Dandenong Ranges, staying for two nights in a holiday cottage in Olinda.
Alfred Nicholas Memorial Gardens is one of the jewels of the Dandenong Ranges. The large garden was part of the historic Burnham Beeches Estate. The gardens cover 13 hectares of plantings including Australian native plants. The many linking paths through this garden take you beneath a canopy of very large Mountain Ash Trees.
We walked through shady trees down to the picturesque lake and the quaint boathouse. We also walked across all areas of the Gardens. There is a part towards the rear, that look like forests and it seemed like we were doing bushwalking. The autumn weather was very pleasant.
Alfred Nicholas (1881-1937) along with his brother George (1884-1960) made the first Australian aspirin and named it Aspro.
In the gardens is Burnham Beeches, a holiday mansion built for Nicholas.

Number of gravel and bitumen paths through a tree-filled park, with a small lake and number of water features. Some areas were inaccessible at the time of our visit, due to storm damage. Some stairs and gills, generally an easy walk

Visited the garden late morning in April (autumn) with wife and kid. Lucky enough to find the parking opposite the entrance. Nice garden for a relaxing walk and enjoy the fresh air although the path down to the lake (pond) can be challenging for the elderly. The smell from the portable toilet near the entrance is unbearable. Really amazed to see those who visited the toilet and yet managed to survive the toxic gas.

Beautiful gardens with easily navigable paths and plenty of places to sit and relax. The gardens are on the side of a hill so, while it's a nice meander down from the road the lake, it's a bit of a cardio slog to come back up. It's worth the effort though - the lake with it's little boat house is a great place to spend some time and the arboretum is definitely worth a look.

A great spot in the dandenong ranges for a hike and beautiful walk.
The first thing to note is there’s not much parking available so arrive early for a spot. Also it has become very commercial for the “Instagram” photos so can get over populated in the main walking paths which takes away from the charm however if you go off some of the major trails you’ll find some peaceful spots for waking and relaxing.

Hi everyone, I'm going to the Dandenong Ranges next Saturday and I'm interested how long it will take me to walk from the entrance to the boathouse and back. I'm also interested in how long it should take me to walk the 1,000 steps going up only.

Hello, this is dependent on your level of fitness and how many times you stop to take in the beautiful gardens. I would say a good 20mins to reach the lake at the bottom of the hill where the picturesque boat shed is if you have moderate health and fitness.

Hi, it says that there's open hours for this place. Are you still allowed after the time?
كُتب بتاريخ 4 مايو 2019
Hi there, just wondering if the paths are suitable for a pram?
كُتب بتاريخ 4 أبريل 2019
Agree with the others. Most are suitable, even some with steps you could make it down fairly easily. However, if you don't like steep in spots then you might not enjoy. As others have also indicated, all paths are bitumen so grip is not a problem.
Hope you get there, it's a lovely thing to do.

Are you allowed to have a picnic next to the water?
كُتب بتاريخ 6 يناير 2017
In answer to your question it's best to look up info on the Parks Victoria website
m.parkweb.vic.gov.au/explore/parks/alfred-nicholas-memorial-gardens-gardens-of-the-dandenongs
We just went for a walk after our first disappointing meal at the Piggery, with no picnic in mind. Hope the above info will help.

Hi everyone,
Just wondering if its worth visiting the garden is winter to get good photos?
The Autumn photos look amazing but wasn't sure about winter.
كُتب بتاريخ 13 أغسطس 2016
Shirley, in my opinion this garden and all its surrounding are worth visiting any time of the year. In winter, if you are lucky, good chance to have snow there...
Enjoy

Hi...Just wondering is there a cafe onsite ??
كُتب بتاريخ 23 يونيو 2016
As others have said, there isn't a cafe on site but don't limit yourself to the Piggery. There are other great places to eat in Sassafras and Olinda that offer everything from breakfast to dinner.

Hi all,
I would like to know if there is another way to get down to the lake? Or is the only way by going down the stairs and pathways from the main entrance at the top?
I saw a girl having her wedding photos taken down there and surely there has to be another way? I'm getting married in autumn and would love to get some photos down at the lake, however I think it would be too difficult going down in a wedding dress.
Any response is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks :)

Hi
The paths are quite narrow and windy, probably too narrow for a car to get all\most of the way down to the lake. I would think the only real way to get down without walking would be something like a golf cart (or one of the vehicles the park rangers use to get up and down).

Hi ..
I Just want to know how long of a walk is it to the lake?
I'm 33 weeks pregnant and want to visit the garden to take some pictures. Will it be too long of a walk.?. Thank you in advance

كُتب بتاريخ 28 مايو 2015
I agree with the other people who have answered this question. It is not far to the lake - 20 mins down perhaps. But you will then have to walk back up - 30 minutes? It is a lovely garden but I think you may be able to find one that is flatter and easier to walk when pregnant. Perhaps Melbourne Botanic Gardens??
