Overbeck's Museum and Garden

Our close association with Overbecks provides a range of interests from unusual and exotic plants to the personal and idiosyncratic museum collection of Otto Overbeck.

The garden has wonderful views of the coast and estuary. It has a number of exceptional plants including a massive Himalayan Magnolia (m.campbelli) and Japanese banana trees (Muso bajoo) besides a myriad of traditional and fragrant plants.

For children there is a secret room with dolls, tin soldiers, a quiz and a ghost hunt.
