This is not the average mini golf set up & appeals to all ages. It is very creative and the balls disappear into some weird & wacky places. The team are very organised and do their best to ensure social distancing is maintained. It is also a great place to get your sugar fix. I will be back.

4.5 based on 142 reviews
Friends of Nyerimilang shop at the park entrance. The semi-formal gardens and lawns surrounding the homestead contain an interesting collection of exotic and native species. Majestic Gippsland Blue Gums and Coast Grey Box on the cliff tops contrast with marshland in the valley of Maringa Creek. Nyerimilang attracts many species of birds including honeyeaters, black swans, pelicans and birds of prey. There are three bird hides in the park. Princes Highway via the Kalimna West Road. There are plenty of road signs along the way. Nyerimilang is just 10km by road north-west of Lakes Entrance.

Nyerimalang has a nice old homestead and a gorgeous walk along the bluff with views over the lakes, returning up a forested valley with sea eagles overhead. There are also some interesting old farm buildings and a native plant garden.

The Gippsland Lakes are a series of lakes ... the largest of these lakes are Lake King, Lake Wellington and Lake Victoria. They cover an area of about 350 square kilometres. These lakes are collectively fed by the Avon, Thomson, Latrobe, Mitchell, Nicholson and Tambo rivers. These form the largest network of inland waterways in Australia making them a great place to visit for a variety of reasons... whether you enjoy fishing, water sports, swimming, walking or simply relaxing... This area of Gippsland has everything covered. There are also approximately 400 indigenous flora species and 300 native fauna species. Three plants, two of them being orchid species, are listed as endangered. There are also Southern Right whales and Humpback whales using the Lake Entrance area ... and the area is home to at least 50 species of dolphins which includes the Burrunan dolphin. It's a really wonderful place to visit all year round.
10. Esplanade Mini Golf

Reviewed By emmagM9084UB
This mini golf course has been built with a sense of humour and fun. All the holes are achievable without recourse to the course limit of 6 shots (except one - the volcano meh). The art features are fun. The very different hole is the minion hole, where you have to shoot while standing on a rotating platform. This is harder than you might think. Try for a hole in one there if you are subject to dizziness! I got it in par so I was happy. Yes you have to pay cash, but if you don't carry cash around these days you are just asking for your fun to stop the minute that power goes out or a bank system has a short term crash. Carry a little cash always ftw. It was good value at 50c a hole. There are plenty of seats to rest on if you need a break. The other minigolf next door was closed due to it being shoulder season.
