Bilpin Country Lodge  

In Bilpin, in the Blue Mountains of NSW — about a 1.5-hour drive from Sydney and roughly 20 km from the local town centre. Orchard country meets rugged bush; ideal for family-friendly stays, group weekends, weddings, executive retreats and small conferences.

A breezy B&B/farmstay with queen rooms and family suites that sleep 3–6, each with its own ensuite. Communal life centers on a huge kitchen and verandah BBQ, plus a giant spa, farm animals, canoes, kids' playground, fishing, yabbying, bush walks and a games room. Rooms include cable TV and free Wi‑Fi — expect cozy, lived-in mountain charm and orchard-scented mornings.

Standout features include the giant spa, expansive communal kitchen, verandah BBQ, on-site farm animals, canoes for the dam and a kids' playground. There are bush walks, fishing and plenty of outdoor activities for families and groups.

Free Wi‑Fi across the property and facilities suited to small conferences and executive retreats. Onsite laundry and a safe-deposit box add practical convenience.

Full breakfast is provided daily on a self-serve/self-prepare basis. The lodge has an on-site restaurant and bar, and the neighbourhood offers bakeries, cafes, cider houses and pick-your-own orchards for fresh local flavors.
