Our day at Paronella Park

Susan_N, Jun 2025
The food and Drinks are great, service is excellent. We only did the 'Dream continues' tour and our guide was really great and enthusiastic about the park and the story of the original owners/family. The only down full was the weather it rained most of the day and the ground is uneven and unpaved, sandy in most spots, but we were provided with umbrellas to use anywhere in the park :) It was a long way from our resort, so it was the only place we went to, and someone in our little group wanted to see other places :)

Amazing

Ray_T, May 2025
A magical setting from the past in ruins now but easy to see what a grand setting it once was. The tour guide was amazing a true character who's a animated commentary was worth the visit on its own

A must see

Sue_M, May 2025
An amazing piece of history. The tour guide was incredible and shared the story of Jose with wonderful enthusiasm and passion.

Best day out at Paronella Park!

What an great experience for the whole family! History buff or wanting to see the enchanted grounds, Paronella Park is it! Bill was fantastic at storytelling and sharing the history of the grounds that captivates us all :) The numerous castles and structures were well kept and perfect for photos and learning. Feeding the fish, Erwin Turtles and the eel was a major plus. Very recommended!

Bill was a great tour guide. We really enjoyed the tour & learning about Jose’ Paronella’s amazing accomplishments. The story/history was fascinating. The Park was wonderful to explore and we enjoyed the walk in the rainforest gardens. The Cafe and staff was lovely.

Fantastic visit

The history of Paronella Park was amazing to think this was a 14yr old boys dream and he spent his life creating that dream. Our guide Ben was so good. We thoroughly enjoyed our day. To have the current owner greet you when you enter and leave was a nice surprise too. We would highly recommend you visit

Incredible

Being asked to marry my partner in front of the waterfall after a guided tour. The guided tour is worth the money. Learning about the history of the park.

Service und Freundlichkeit des Personals. Der Park ist einfach unglaublich schön. Man kann in dem Park komplett abschalten und in eine Andre Welt eintauchen. Besonderen Dank an Carolina die uns den Park erklärt hat und uns einen Einblick in die Geschichte gegeben hat!
