Duneira Estate Autumn Open Garden Days

Duneira Estate, Mount Macedon –  Autumn Open Garden Days 2026 

Hidden behind towering eucalypts and dense holly hedges on the southern slopes of Mt Macedon lies one of Australia’s most extraordinary heritage estates.

For over 150 years Duneira has enchanted visitors from across the globe. With it’s imposing Italianate villa set amongst 38 acres of botanically significant gardens, this remarkable hill station continues to delight and inspire visitors.

Duneira Estate Garden is ablaze with sensational Autumn colour, and upon entering the gates visitors encounter one of the best surviving examples of a privately owned avenue in the Southern Hemisphere. The iconic 500m Dutch Elm avenue affords a spectacular backdrop for keen photographers.

Explore the secret garden and discover the 145 yr old weeping Cherry tree, stroll through the orchards to the north of the historic homestead and walk through the labyrinth. Take a break in the courtyard before visiting our resident Llamas.

Autumn is one of the peak seasons in this spectacular heritage-listed garden.
