is the 'must see' attraction in the Summerland region.

Located in Alstonville in the beautiful hinterland of Ballina & Byron Bay it is a unique and exciting destination incorporating fun, mental stimulation, relaxation & eating pleasure – a place for the whole family to enjoy and experience together.

Featuring a unique hedge maze, relaxing café/restaurant with puzzle gift shop and puzzle play activities it has something for all tastes, ages and abilities.

The Living lattice Labyrinth is the result of the unique planting and growing method and consists of over 9,000 trees (not hedges) covering over 2,000m2 (½ acre) with over 2 kilometres of paths. The maze is over 4 metres tall.
The unique method of growing is the result of inosculating the trunks of the trees which have been stripped of foliage while leaving a top of leaves above head height which is trimmed like a traditional hedge.

There are several reasons and benefits of this technique (more information in the FAQ section)

• Parents don’t lose their children so easily (and small children can get through the wall to their parents)

• The openness allows the breeze to keep it cool

• The openness allows claustrophobics to keep their cool

• People can communicate with each other in the maze

• It allows some planning of where to go

• It’s beautiful and magical
