Quietly luxurious. Utterly unforgettable.

Experience Australian luxury
at Mt Kanimbla Retreats

Lose yourself in the raw beauty of the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains. Perched high on Mt Kanimbla, this secluded retreat set on 36 acres offers front-row views to one of Australia’s most awe-inspiring landscapes — where misty escarpments, deep valleys, and untouched wilderness stretch as far as the eye can see.

Vogue Living named this one of the 'Best Stays in the Blue Mountains' — and it’s easy to see why. Here, luxury meets the wild. Each of the three luxury cabins has been thoughtfully placed to take full advantage of the landscape — from treetop stone baths and private lookouts to sun-drenched interiors styled with warmth and soul. Soak in a treetop stone bath beneath a canopy of stars, sip wine beside a crackling fire, or simply unwind as wallabies pass by your cabin.

Mt Kanimbla Retreats is where romance, stillness, and the Australian bush come together — a place to reconnect, recharge, and enjoy something truly special. Experience a deeply restorative, unforgettable escape in one of Australia’s most breathtaking settings.

Mt Wilson Gardens, Mt Wilson

The tiny village of Mt Wilson is famous for its spectacular spring and autumn displays.

What the village lacks in shops and cafes (charmingly, there are none of either) it makes up for in stunning, historic private gardens that burst into a torrent of flowers every spring and vibrant red, yellow and orange leaves from April til June every year.

Each garden is a serene delight for romantics, nature lovers, and families. Take a picnic and a camera and enjoy a feast for the senses.

Horse Riding, Kanimbla and Megalong Valleys

Hit the trail on horseback and experience an Australian bush adventure. Ride through rural countryside and natural bushland, cross rocky streams and traverse mountain trails.

First-time riders can take a gentle ride and practice trotting. More seasoned riders can take an escorted trail ride through some of the most breathtaking scenery Australia has to offer.

Book your ride in at Centennials Glen Stables or Megalong Valley Farm. Centennial Glen Stables also offers riding lessons for children over the age of 6.

For young families, couples and those that prefer not to get on a horse, sulky rides are also available at Centennial Glen Stables.

The Japanese Bathhouse, South Bowenfels

Nestled into the rolling hills surrounding Lake Lyell is Blue Mountains Sparadise, a traditional Japanese Onsen.

The bathhouse is a truly unique escape. As you approach through rural Australian countryside, a traditional Japanese onsen seems like the last place that would appear. The feeling lingers until you enter the bathhouse through the cleansing water walkway, and suddenly it is as if you’ve been transported to Japan. And it’s wonderful.

Fed by the mineralised waters of an underground spring and infused with herbal treatments, the heated baths soothe aching muscles and wash away cares. To completely unwind, indulge in a massage, skin treatment or private bath.
