The Abkhazi Gardens are one of the world's best and unique small gardens. Known affectionately as "the garden that love built," this one acre jewel was created by Prince and Princess Nicholas Abkhazi in the middle of the last century. The garden's future was at risk in early 2000 when a strong community campaign resulted in The Land Conservancy purchasing the property in February 2000. This magical garden takes full advantage of its dramatic site that contains quiet woodland, rocky slopes and gorgeous vistas. The rhododendron woodland includes tree-like plants over 100 years old. The Abkhazi home now hosts a restaurant serving lunch and afternoon tea and a charming gift shop. The house and garden are also available for rental. (Text copied from Heritage Victoria website.
