What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors consistently praise Fletcher Jones Silver Ball & Gardens for its serene, well-maintained vintage gardens and peaceful atmosphere. The historical mural and on-site coffee van add to the charm, making it a delightful hidden gem for a relaxed outing. Some note the mural could be more visible.
"Really enjoyed strolling through this vintage garden. It’s been carefully maintained but not updated since its bygone era (circa 1960’s) Cute. A coffee van was there to get a take away or sit down to enjoy it too. Don’t forget about the mural on the wall (to the left of the market entrance) for a rundown of the Fletcher Jones history. Great little hidden gem of Warrnambool."
