Good place to visit as it has fiji museums together and also can do some photo shoot at gardens like birthday 🎂 and graduation photo shoot, engagement photo shoot..

Almost everytime I come back, i would spend half a day just chill in the garden and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere.

Very cool trees filled with giant fruit bats (Pteropus Vampyrus).
