点评:It really is worth the long drive from Cairns and the entrance fee.
The history of the Paronella family was related admirably by guides, Bill and Shelley as we walked around the gardens. Jose’s entrepreneurship, his and Margurite’s industry in creating beautiful pleasure gardens, with entertainment and hospitality are mind-boggling.
Equally admirable is the re-awakening of the site by the present owners, preserving the history, telling the stories and showcasing the structures that remain, in an environment that is a joy to explore.
There are snacks, good lunch offerings, tea and coffee to be enjoyed on the veranda overlooking the gardens. Loan umbrellas are available for visitors when the weather is showery.
There are 40plus stone steps down to the lower garden but guests with mobility issues will be driven down and up again on request.
翻译:从凯恩斯长途驾车前来,支付入场费,这真的非常值得。
我们在花园里散步时,导游比尔和雪莱向我们讲述了帕罗尼拉家族的历史,令人钦佩。何塞的创业精神,以及他和玛格丽特在创造美丽的游乐花园、娱乐和招待方面的勤奋令人难以置信。
同样令人钦佩的是,现在的主人重新唤醒了这个地方,保存了历史,讲述了故事,展示了仍然存在的建筑,营造了一个令人愉悦的探索环境。
在俯瞰花园的阳台上,您可以享用小吃、美味的午餐、茶和咖啡。天气多雨时,可以借用雨伞。
通往下层花园有 40 多级石阶,但行动不便的客人可以根据要求上下车。
