Stokes Bay Bush Garden

Stokes Bay Bush Garden is a breathtaking three-hectare property on Kangaroo Island, Australia.

Owned by Carol and John Stanton, it showcases over 600 species of Australian native plants, making it a popular destination for visitors who consider it the best native garden in the country.

Visitors to Stokes Bay Bush Garden can explore the garden along two trails and use guidebooks to locate the various plants. Peak season offers the opportunity to see a wide variety of wildflowers in bloom, providing a stunning display of Australian native flora.

The best time to visit the garden is during the summer when most flowers are in bloom. Stokes Bay itself is a secluded cove on the north coast of Kangaroo Island, known for its pristine white sand and clear water. Visitors can also enjoy exploring caves before relaxing on the beach or dining at the Enchanted Fig Tree.

To reach Stokes Bay Bush Garden, visitors can take a dirt road off the usual Kangaroo Island attraction trail. Kangaroo Island can be accessed by ferry or plane from the south coast of South Australia. Hiring a car or joining a guided tour are also options for exploring the island.

It is important to note that the recent fires on Kangaroo Island completely destroyed the garden and the Stantons' family home. We will provide updates on any future news regarding the garden's restoration.
