Ashcombe Maze & Lavender Gardens
Up to 1 hour
Overview
This is a relaxed self-guided day out through 25 acres of gardens, with entry to two hedge mazes and a lavender labyrinth included. It is less about big-adrenaline sightseeing and more about wandering, taking your time and making a few hours of it if you want to. There are large lawns for picnics and games, plus a timber playground, so it suits travellers looking for an easy outdoor stop on the Mornington Peninsula. In summer, more than 1,000 lavender plants are in flower.
Why backpackers love it
It is an easy, low-stress option if you want a break from wineries, beaches or long touring days. The flexible visit time means you can keep it brief or settle in for a slower afternoon, and the entry price is relatively modest for a landscaped attraction. It also works well for mixed groups, since you can explore casually without needing special fitness, and the picnic lawns make it simple to bring your own food and keep costs down.
What to expect
Once inside, you are free to explore at your own pace. The main draw is working your way through the hedge mazes and the lavender labyrinth, then wandering the surrounding gardens and open lawn areas. An activity sheet for a scavenger hunt is included, which adds a bit more to do if you are visiting with friends or family. Depending on how quickly you move and whether you stop for a picnic or a longer garden wander, visits can be fairly short or stretch out for most of the day. The site is wheelchair accessible and pram-friendly.
