🌷 Charlie Chech - playing at Tulip Top Gardens, Sutton (TTG) — 4 October 2026

Canberra, get in quick!

At 15, he sang alongside Michael Bublé to 20,000+ people. He wowed the judges on Australian Idol. In 2024 he was named Australia's Best Male Vocal Performer at the ACE Awards — one of the youngest ever to win it. His new single "Made in Japan" has already hit ~4 million views.

Sinatra, Bublé, Bennett, Darin, Nat King Cole — that crooner magic, live on the TTG green, 11am–2pm, surrounded by tulips in full bloom. This one's too good to miss.

The Nest at Gundaroo is just 20 minutes from the show!!

Wander the blooms, catch the show, then unwind back at the villas in front of the wood-fired heaters with your favourite bottle of w**e. 🌿

As of 1st of July 2026, our dedicated and enthusiastic housekeeper Narelle Jensz has taken over management of The Nest at Gundaroo.

My family and I have put 12 years of love and care into this small business, from design, build and launch in 2014, to hosting more than 10,000 guests. And the hundreds of 5-star reviews and wonderful comments have made it all so worthwhile.

When you manage a small boutique hotel you don't always get it right, but I can confidently say that the vast majority of visitors have loved discovering Gundaroo and all it has to offer.

Narelle now has the reins and I can't be happier as she is passionate and dedicated to building the business further. Come and see for yourself - and always book direct through www.thenestgundaroo.com.au to get the best deal.

And for me? I have a new venture and full time role for a not for profit that is keeping me well entertained.

Sincerely, Lana Howarth

And the cool nights gives us an excuse to have the fire on…

Signs of Autumn are peaking throughout our gardens. The colours are changing, and the leaves are beginning to fall. It's a beautiful mess, and we can't wait for the season to fully take shape 🍁

We have had some lovely reviews recently. With the fire on and a full size bath, our Heron villa is very popular for those wanting a rural get-away close to home.
