  Wonderfully situated in the Reed's garden, this gallery never fails to impress. The Mirka Mora exhibition was our reason for visiting, it was fascinating & beautifully set out. We also enjoyed walking through the gardens. A Melbourne treasure, lovingly cared for.

  A great place to explore on your own, with a loved one or with the kids. An amazing story and place. It has some great recent exhibitions and wonderful gardens areas. Make sure you read the history of the property before you get there - we did it on the train ride out..

  This museum and grounds are fantastic. The current exhibition of Arthur Boyd's Brides series is so well documented that even someone like me knowing very little about art was moved and given great insight into the artist and the times he was painting. Apart from this exhibition there are so many interesting things to see, staff are very helpful and the grounds and buildings worth a visit in their own right. The restaurant and cafe food is pretty good but service was very, very slow. They definitely need more staff. Our lunch took two hours to be served and eaten, given it is pretty much a set menu that's terrible. Shame because the food was really good. We had coffee earlier in the outside area and that took 30 minutes to arrive.

  I love the gardens, a great modern art gallery close to the city. A place I take international guests when in town, even though the history may seem young to them, I still love it. A great way to interpret the foundations of creative Melbourne.

  Went to the Heide restaurant and had the fish of the day, trout for two and it was nicely done melted in your mouth except I think it should have had two pieces of fish not one. The service could have been a lot better cakes where lovely. You need to book the restaurant not the cafe which is outside but undercover that's nice as well. The museum you need to pay for it. We skipped the gallery there is plenty of art around the grounds. Great vegetable garden. Plenty of parking no parking fee. I would go again.

  My wife and I are from interstate and this is our first visit to Heide.The temporary Arthur Boyd Brides exhibit made the trip to the suburbs worthwhile. An outstanding and expansive display of work by this original and iconic Australian artist. The other temporary and permanent exhibits were not particularly interesting though and the sculpture park uninspiring. The gardens are in desperate need of maintenance. The place is looking tired and run down and in need of funds to revitalize it. Wouldn't recommend going unless there is a temporary exhibit you especially wish to see.

  For me this place, a former farm with added buildings, is most interesting for its role in Australia's cultural history. I aim to go to Heide about once a year, taking any guests who are interested in 20th century art or would like to see more of the riverine land north-east of Melbourne's CBD. Visitors enjoy being able to wander around the grassy grounds, see inside the original (meticulously restored) farmhouse, check out current exhibitions and outdoor sculptures, and experience the Modernism of the later structures. Be wary of precious, romanticising descriptions of Heide as it was. From what I've heard of life in the artistic commune from a man who was part of it, conditions were basic and tough; it was not all aesthetics and glorious wholefoods. Same caution may apply to Café Vue. Last time I tried it, service was slow and attitudes high-falutin'. (No, they would not serve low-fat milk in coffee because ...) My companion, the man who'd lived at Heide, was bemused since his recollections were of separating milk from the cows, cooking over a firepit, and so on. For visitors without a car, a taxi from Heidelberg station is another option if the 903 bus plus a walk does not suit you. Walking shoes and fold-up umbrella recommended: while indoor gallery spaces are stylish, the grounds are uneven and areas between buildings are open to the elements.

Food was a little slow coming out but when it did it was delicious. Dessert buffet omg words can not describe AMAZING.. LOOKING FORWARD TO RETURNING

  Three galleries based around the homes of the Reed family. The exhibitions are always interesting and well displayed. In this case, the Mirka Mora display was fascinating. Lunch in the Vue Cafe, with food sourced from the original kitchen garden was beautifully presented and tasty. Afterwards a stroll around the grounds to see the garden art. Will definitely visit again.
