Parklands Country Gardens and Lodges  

Tucked in Blackheath on 28 acres in the World Heritage‑listed Blue Mountains, this secluded luxury retreat sits minutes from Govetts Leap lookout and a short drive to Katoomba and the Three Sisters. It’s close to local highlights like Keith Rowe Gallery, Campbell Rhododendron Gardens and Blackheath Golf Course — about 1 hour 45 minutes from Sydney CBD.

Rooms are air‑conditioned suites with fireplaces, flat‑screen TVs, iPod docks and lounge areas, plus private bathrooms with bathrobes. The property feels like a European country estate with manicured gardens, a private lake and an on‑site day spa — ideal for romantic escapes, family stays and celebrations.

Relax at the Parklands Day Spa with massages, facials and body treatments, stroll the gardens or unwind by the private lake. On‑site restaurant and bar, concierge and free on‑site parking are all available, and complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected — wake up to valley‑mist mornings and mountain air.

Event facilities include conference space, a meeting room and an on‑site function room for weddings or corporate events, plus a 24‑hour front desk, concierge services and laundry/dry‑cleaning.

An on‑site restaurant and bar serve guests, and the region’s famed wines and local produce are easy to sample at nearby Blackheath restaurants and bars.
