‘Twin Lakes’


A peaceful all-seasons country garden formed around a five-acre lake with waterlillies and exotic waterfowl. It features unusual and ornamental borders around the house with areas of mixed planting, rock gardens and a bog garden.

Emus and ostriches are farmed here and an aviary with exotic birds, which will intrigue and surprise you with their colour and variety, is open for viewing.

Originally the land at the back of the property was covered in gorse, blackberry, inkweed etc. This has now developed into a very tranquil walk around the man made lake with the lake on one side and extensive planting on the other.

Directions:
From the Harbour Bridge drive North on Motorway to Albany. Drive through Albany and up the hill (which is now SH1). At the top of the hill, just past the BP petrol station, turn left into Coatesville-Riverhead Highway (SH28). Drive 3km down this road to the Coatesville Store (on the right). Sunnyside Rd is the next road on the right (about 200 metres past store). We are number 83, which is on the entryway. 'Twin Lakes' is on the windmill.
