Secret picnic spot at Werribee Mansion

The Werribee Mansion is unreal. And I have found some beautiful rustic secret spots there.
I normally park in the main car park and take a walk to the Mansion itself, the grounds around the front of the Mansion are lovely - albeit a tad manicured. The conservatories are beautiful if they are open while you are there, a great spot for some photos!
But the secret gem of these wonderful gardens in my opinion is this beautifully lush picnic spot. Its located behind the Mansion, down some back paths. Find the exact location HERE, just plug that into your GPS and it will guide you as you walk there. Its about a 7min walk from the Mansion.

I hold loads of beautiful family photo sessions here, I offer Werribee Mansion mini sessions, see all info on those HERE if you want to take advantage of that while you picnic here 💕

She hunts hints

* Wanna op shop? Then swing by the Hoppers Crossing op shops if your energy levels are high, find out about them HERE

* Werribee Zoo is unreal! Truly, it is. Make a day of it if you fancy. They have Toddler Thursdays on Thursday mornings. Oh so good!

* Shadowfax Winery is right next door to the Mansion and is a lovely spot for lunch, very toddler / kid friendly if you request a table outside as there are lush grounds and trees to climb right there while you have a (mostly) peaceful meal. Bookings are essential

* to get down to this picnic table, there are steep stairs, we leave our prams at the top of the stairs

* you can get a nice view of the Werribee Zoo from the top of the stairs, spot some giraffe and hippos while you are at it!

* we launch our kayak in the river from this spot! Its so sublime kayaking on the Werribee River
