63 (50) Tanawha Tourist Drive and the Belligham Maze

Belligham MazeBelligham Maze

Be amazed by the Belligham maze. Its just impossible not to be corny when comes to a maze. An amazing maze of maize would be better if only it was possible. Fun thing to do for romantics, families or childhood re-lifers.

Bus is a fair walk away so you’ll probably need a car to see the Belligham Maze or you could go on a tour:


Belligham Maze entry and Devonshire tea for 2 people

The Belligham Maze is a surprise that awaits you. A challenging hedge maze, brain teasing puzzles, delicious Devonshire Teas, mini tile mazes, huge walk- through aviary. Take the family to "get lost" in this living hedge maze with 2 metre high rows of fragrant cypress pine hedges.

First you negotiate the magic waterfall at the entrance to the attraction, once you get through without getting wet, make your way through sub-tropical rainforest pathways to the teahouse.

There you'll be warmly welcomed by the lovely staff, and promptly told to "Get Lost" - (politely of course) in the hedge maze that is!

The idea is to find your way through the pathways amongst the hedges until you find the fountain in the middle of the maze.

Sometimes you can hear it, sometimes you get a glimpse of it, but can you find it? Usually takes about 20 minutes to find your way to the fountain and then find you’re way back out again. When you do find your way out, you can climb the steps to the timber deck and laugh at everyone who is still lost in the maze!

Try the brain teasing puzzles on all the tables in the teahouse - and maybe purchase one to take home with you. Have a go at the mini tile mazes, designed by world maze designer Adrian Fisher.

Then, when you feel sufficiently challenged, you can take the relaxing rainforest walk to the huge walk-through aviary and enjoy all the lovely birds.

Appeals to all age groups - from young families, honeymooners, to the young at heart - seniors, retirees and groups. Bring a picnic lunch or treat yourself to Devonshire tea or Lavazza coffee.

Easy to find along the Tanawha Tourist Drive.
