Rhu Lodge is set centrally in a large and well-stocked landscaped garden. The house is sheltered from northerly winds by a bank and mature trees, and the surrounding waters, warmed by the Gulf Stream, help to create a mild microclimate. The grounds are laid out with lawns, perennial beds, shrubs and specimen trees. The walled water garden is centred on an ornamental fishpond, with a gazebo overlooking the cascade crossed by an elegant architect designed bridge. Paths among the trees lead to special areas of the garden with a variety of seating, and there are extensive workspaces, two sheds and a greenhouse. The strip of land between the private road and the shore is maintained as a natural wildflower area, with shrubs and hedging sheltering the entrances.
