About 7000 people attempted the challenge, which was shaped like a giant beehive.
The design was inspired after Rohan, Anna's husband was stung by a bee and had a severe allergic reaction.
It is about the fourth time the maze has been opened to the public after the Clarks had the idea to try and entertain their children in the paddocks.
Ms Clark said the five-week season was the best yet.
"Numbers are right up on last year. It was absolutely massive. We have had really big years, with normally about 5000, but this was something else," she said.
"There were a lot of mainland visitors this time and the word seems to be out there a lot this year."
The maze opened in March. Ms Clark said the first weekend was the quietest.
"Then the long weekend, especially the Sunday and Monday, were massive," she said. "It all seemed to go well though and all the kids had a ball."
While she admits the maze isn't everyone's cup of tea, the success of the maze shows many are up for the challenge.
"No one complained to me and they all seemed to really enjoy it," she said.
"Not only was the may enjoyable and challenging, but the whole vegetable garden was also fun and successful as well. People seemed to like being able to pick their own veggies."
It was exhausting, Ms Clark said, but a success.
"All these little things came up along the way like no one being able to find us because Google Maps had us at a different address, but overall it went very well," she said.
The maze will now dry out before being harvested. The Clarks will start looking for their next inspiration ahead of the 2020 crop.
"Leading up to this one I was thinking I don't think I could ever do this again. I was shattered before it even began," she said.
"But I think because it's been so overwhelming with the numbers coming through we will need to definitely do it again."
