About
Fairhill Adventure Gardens is a family destination at Ninderry, just inland from the Sunshine Coast, built around native botanic gardens established more than 50 years ago. Across the property you'll find a native plant nursery, an animal farmyard with chickens, guinea pigs and mini goats, a café, and a farm shop and local makers' marketplace stocking goods from local farmers, artists and artisans.
It's more an experience than a shop — the grounds include a Forest Fairy Trail, a Little Engineers dig zone, Turtle Lake and a subtropical rainforest area, with the café earning strong reviews for its food. The farm shop leans towards local artisan and makers' produce rather than a full butcher or grocery counter, so it suits a relaxed day out as much as a shop for local goods.
