Mount Lofty Botanic Garden

Perched within the Adelaide Hills’ treetops, a mere 18 kilometres from the city centre, lies the Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens – an oasis for nature enthusiasts and avid picnickers alike. The 97-hectare sanctum has stood the test of time as one of the best parks in Adelaide, offering plenty of walking trails, tranquil lakes where reflecting takes on a double meaning, and wildlife galore of kangaroos, koalas and bandicoots. The garden is home to a plethora of cool-climate plants that blush with spectacular hues in the autumn months – a brilliant spot for a romantic date, may we say.
