| On site parking is available for approx 40 average sized vehicles. There are two parking areas, both located to right of driveway as you enter. 1) Lower graveled car park. 2) Grassy area to the right of driveway, which is more suitable for guests who have difficulty in walking. A golf cart can be rented for handicapped and must be reserved ahead of time. We will provide operator for golf cart. Parking or driving is not permitted on the lawned and landscaped areas to the left of the driveway as you enter, and we ask guests to respect this and take care. If the bride intends to use the changing room facility, which is located on the lower deck, she may drive right up the driveway and park alongside that area if she wishes. If more than 40 vehicles are anticipated, then busing arrangements to the garden, will have to be made ( see also Guidelines Section.) |
