Thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. Our guide was so informative and there was so much history to take in. Mary's garden was delightful too. Great place for a picnic.

Beautiful house in incredible condition. Our guides were lovely and very passionate about the house and it’s history. You must book in advance. Very worth it. Enjoyed it very much.

An interesting place, well set up for school groups I imagine. The location the original squatter who owned most of the Tablelands set up their house. It has fantastic gardens that are well maintained and the house itself is still set up as it was 100 years ago.

While the homestead could have some restoration dollars spent on it and the garden definately needs work, this is an extraordinary time capsule of a wealthy but parsimonious (read Presbyterian) family's home life. Not to be missed by any visitor to Armidale. The house is only accessible by guided 1.5 hour tour but it is worth the time and the $12.00 The White family handed it (and the 20 odd acres it sits on) over to the National Trust and left. Everything was left behind, even the spectacular silver hair brushes, books, family pictures and family Bible. Didn't have time to get down to the farming sheds but assume that is equally interesting. Don't miss it. If you want to see the gardens and farming sheds and are going for the 3.30pm tour, make sure you arrive at least an hour beforehand to do so. No time after the tour.

Only got to do the garden today, am very impressed indeed. I had a fall on a spot where water has run and made a trench. Very happy to such beautiful old plants.

The gardens at Saumarez are amazing, especially Mary's, which is maintained by Jarrod the friendly gardner. Inside the house is a time capsule full of significant historical masterpieces of its time, and Lez the property manager was a warm-hearted welcoming man with extensive knowledge. If you love exquisite antiques, ambience, bygone architecture and the highest standard of customer service, then this estate is not to be missed whilst visiting Armidale !!!

Stunning Edwardian NTrust house filled the White family's original furniture & posessions. A wonderful place where you can step back in time and learn a bit of local history from the knowledgeable tour guides. You can also wander around the extensive grounds.

Highly recommend doing the walk to Wollomonbi falls lookout! The views are wild (photos do not do them justice) 🏔️🌊 It's a very short walk from the carpark to the first lookout. The walk then continues to the base of the falls and then 2 more lookouts which are a bit further and uphill / downhill.

Amazing views of water falls and gouge. Incredible natural beauty. Beat when it's rains, water falls are awesome to see. So high, great walking tracks to see best lookouts. Walks are reasonable for most levels of fitness and suitable for children with supervision.

Beautiful views, easy walking tracks, and well signed. Nice picnic area at the top too.

Nobody can control the weather but only a dribble of a fall from the main lookout and nothing from the other lookouts. Otherwise nice area for a picnic. Didn't see any toilets

Pups and Park Rangers, New England National Park is a 5-Paw WOW-ZER! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ryder here, and wow-wow-wubbzy, New England National Park is PAW-SOME! Just say, "Ryder needs you, New England National Park!" and the PAW Patrol will be there - because this place is incredible! From the tippy-top of Point Lookout, the views are like, whoa! You can see everything! It's like Adventure Bay, but bigger and with even more trees! We used our pup-tags to zoom in and spot so many cool birds – bright blue ones, fluffy white ones, even some that sounded like they were laughing! Pup-tag zoom vision is the best for nature exploring! The walking tracks are super fun adventures! We hiked to waterfalls that were splash-tastic! Marshall even managed to stay dry for once (almost!). There are trails for every pup, big or small, and even some that are a bit challenging for extra adventure! Just be sure to bring your pup treats and water, Adventure Bay style! And the best part? It's full of amazing animals! We saw wallabies hopping around like they were in a bouncy castle, and so many colourful butterflies fluttering by! It's like a real-life jungle adventure, right here in New England! We even helped a little lost joey find its mum – teamwork makes the dream work! New England National Park is the perfect place for pups and people who love adventure and nature! It’s clean, it’s beautiful, and it’s got something for everyone! No job is too big, no pup is too small to have an amazing time at New England National Park! Definitely a 5-paw recommendation from Ryder and the PAW Patrol! Let’s go, go, go explore!

We walked half way down the gorge, a pretty steep track in places, but when we got to where wanted stop, the view was spectacular

Super easy to get to, and the views? Absolutely worth it. Just a friendly PSA for future visitors—or let’s say, a rant against the peeps that were present while we were there: this isn’t your private festival stage. Cranking EDM at 11 a.m. isn’t the vibe—people come here for tranquility, not to relive Coachella on a cliffside.

Wow! This is a gem of an art gallery, how lucky Armidale is to have it. The Hinton collection is very impressive, featuring some of the biggest names in early 20th century Australian Art such as Arthur Streeton, Tom Roberts, Nora Heysen, Margaret Preston, and Ethel Spowers. I also enjoyed the temporary exhibitions. The always impressive Art Express was on display today, and a range of other contemporary Australian artists. They also were advertising a range of workshops for kids and adults running throughout the year. The cafe is lovely too, and there's a well curated gift shop for buying a souvenir or two.

Ohh Coffee is so good and the food is to die for. The food is also unique! There's variety in the menu that you don't see in many other cafes in Armidale. Love that they are open on Sundays and the outdoor seating in the sun with a beautiful view and calm surroundings

This art museum is truly impressive. The collection is diverse and beautifully curated, with each exhibit thoughtfully arranged. The space is clean and peaceful, making it easy to spend hours exploring and appreciating the artwork !

Very cool gallery with a good amount to look at. Staff were very friendly

Such a lovely free regional Gallery! I visited with my sister and was greeted by the front of house staff. She was warm and welcoming. The exhibitions on show were historical, dynamic, and humorous! Displayed beautifully. Thank you for making art accessible to the regional community.

Fabulous experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the exhibitions, and thought it was beautifully presented. A real gem. The lady who greeted me at the front desk was welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful. Overall, NERAM is a real highlight and a credit to Armidale.

Nice museum with quality artwork, good ambience, and an enjoyable cafe attached for after your visit. And of course a gift shop, with interesting artifacts and prints. This visit they had an exhibit from the collection of Howard Hilton featuring very interesting paintings of Australian and International topics, a Ken Done exhibition, plus assorted contemporary works including some amazing water colours. Entrance is free, and you can make a donation by tap-and-go to support the museum. Also check out the various sculptures spread outside the museum and cafe!

My first stop in Armidale was the information centre— lots of local information and friendly advice about the region and roads. Plenty of parking too. Next to fuel & food. Clean toilets, BBQ, kids playground nearby.

We went on their free heritage bus tour. Our tour guide was an older, long-term resident of Armidale. Very knowledgeable. We drove by lots of historical buildings. Most importantly, we were allowed into Booloominbah Historical Settler House in the University of New England, which is now used as an administration building at the university. This is the only way you can get into that house. Highly recommended. We gave a donation after the tour. The people inside the visitor center were also very helpful with advice.

We had a fantastic experience with staff here, we had a very passionate man (?Ethel) who explained the town and surrounds with such excitement that it got us excited to explore. What a great asset he is to the info centre!

Very helpful. We went on the mini bus heritage tour around Armidale and thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks Allan for your wonderful knowledge and driving.

So, so helpful. A destination in itself. The staff couldn't do enough for us. So many great suggestions. We'll be back.

The Armidale Visitors Centre really is a must! We were warmly greeted by Faye, who has lived in Armidale for a very long time as we found out, and who is a wealth of information in and around the area. The experience was very much like discovering treasure with what we were provided. Not just on what to see but the history as well. We were able to tailor our own touring experience with the information provided and can not thank Faye enough! I heard locally about the council possibly replacing people in the information centre with machines. I hope this never happens. We have had experiences with information machines, they never give you exactly what your looking for, they can't tell you about the treasures you might be interested in but don't know there there, or which way to go to get the maximum visits in areas depending on when they are open. Faye made it a breeze, and we will have to come back as there was far too much to do and see in one day. Thank you again for the experience, education, information, and your warm, friendly nature Faye, you are a gem!

The driver reviver was open and we were so thankful for the warm space and hot drink Clean toilets and a lovely lady with lots of information
