Open Garden

Entry is $10 per person and children 12 and under are free.
Please note that there are unfenced lakes in the garden so children must be supervised at all times.

There is plenty of space in the garden for visitors to enjoy themselves and find their own special spots. If government guidelines require number limits when we reopen, we will promote this on our website and social media. 

We would be delighted to welcome you and your group to visit our gardens in the Spring or Autumn! To make a booking please email info@gardensoftievetara.com.au, or use the contact section to send us a message. In your message please tell us the day and time that you hope to visit and the number of people in your group. If you would like a tour of the garden this can be arranged as well at an additional price.

There is no carpark, however there is ample unrestricted street parking right outside the garden gates on Mount Macedon road.

Transport from Macedon Station to Tieve Tara can be arranged by contacting: Gisborne Taxi Service 03 9310 5422 (can provide a maxi taxi or an 11 seater bus) or Gisborne Limo Cabs 03 5428 2444

We would be delighted to share the beauty of the gardens with you and are thrilled that you want to use the Gardens of Tieve Tara as your backdrop. Many people have used the garden to capture stunning debutante photos, wedding photos and portraits. We do charge a professional photography fee so please contact us at info@gardensoftievetara.com.au for further information and let us know the nature of your photography and the day that you are wanting to visit.

Unfortunately, we do not host wedding ceremonies in the garden, however we would be delighted to provide a stunning backdrop for your wedding photographs. If you are interested in using the garden to document your special day please contact us at info@gardensoftievetara.com.au.

Out of respect to our visitors, neighbours and feathered residents we do not allow drones to be used at Tieve Tara.

We kindly ask that you do not bring any BBQ or related cooking equipment to the gardens. We do however encourage you to bring along a picnic or visit one of our fabulous local cafes for a hot lunch.

Just a short way down the road are two wonderful options:
Mount Macedon Trading Post – 686 Mt Macedon Rd (also has a great selection of picnic supplies)
Mount Macedon Hotel – 694 Mount Macedon Rd

For more local options scroll further down this page for more ideas, if you feel like exploring another nearby village such as Woodend, Kyneton, Macedon or Gisborne.

Due to Tieve Tara having unfenced lakes on the property and free-roaming geese, ducks and chicken we unfortunately ask you to leave your dogs at home for your visit.

At Tieve Tara we like to provide all visitors with a clean and serene environment. We therefore ask that you please refrain from smoking anywhere on the property.

As a Covid precaution, the toilet facilities on the premises are currently closed. The closest public toilets can be found at Tony Clarke Reserve at 37 Waterfalls Rd and at Centennial Park on the corner of Honour Avenue.
