April 2025 | First Public Opening
For the first time in its storied history, the magnificent gardens of Camelot Estate are opening to the public.
Nestled on the 'golden mile' of Mount Macedon at an elevation of 1,001 metres, this botanical masterpiece has remained a private sanctuary since its establishment in 1886.
