Every few years the wetlands is placed into a dry phase for approximately 6 months as part of a wetting and drying regime that compliments the natural wetting and drying cycles of the wetlands. This allows us to manage the ecosystem and support positive flora and fauna development, particularly among a range of endangered species. Ecological monitoring and the evaluation of environmental assets are regularly completed in order to retain our Ramsar accreditation.
This is a wonderfully beautiful time to visit, the site displays a unique range of flora and fauna species that rejuvenate during these months and is still well worth the walk down to the basin.
Whether you choose to enjoy the vistas from our gorgeous comfortable deck or head down for a wander to the basin along the many interesting paths through the terrain and vineyards, your experience finishes
with a Banrock Tasting experience where our team will guide you through a selection of our wines all sourced from the region.
The next phase of drying is due to commence in Dec 2023 through to Jun 2024.
