Nestled in the heart of Eatons Hill, Kumbartcho Sanctuary offers a peaceful escape into nature with winding trails, vibrant wildlife, and tranquil scenery.
The sanctuary features a butterfly garden and a fairy garden, which are sure to delight little kids. You can even send the fairies some mail - a charming touch!
Moving on from the enchanting fairy garden, Frog Hollow is another delightful spot to explore.
If you love frogs, they have little ponds with different species of frogs. I had to laugh that the area is fenced. The fenced Frog Hollow is an interesting feature, though I couldn't help but wonder if the frogs might venture out to find new homes.
The Sanctuary also has a nursery, which sells a lot of native plants for great prices. Perfect for if you are a green thumb, you can get some retail therapy in.
We tried many times to spot a koala, but had no luck. There's definitely some furry friends somewhere, going by the marks we found on this tree though!
There was lovely little walking trails, a bit challenging in terrain though. I personally, do not think the Sanctuary is wheelchair friendly at all. There are some high steps and gravel in places, also some small inclines. We also didn't spot any accessible toilets either.
I feel this place is more suited to children who are very mobile, looking for some adventure, and will use the playground nearby.
There was ample seating and tables around the Sanctuary and a free electric barbecue, which was nice to see. There was a children's party happening whilst we were there, and it's a great spot for it!
While the sanctuary offers a serene environment, it may not appeal to those seeking a more activity filled experience. I think to enjoy it the most is to have a picnic, sit and enjoy the peace more.
