ONCE UPON A TIME.....in Australia's early history a lone explorer stumbled upon a sheltered little valley where two creeks met, with permanent spring fed water, on the verge of what is now known as the Grose Wilderness, les than 90 minutes from Sydney. He bought the property in 1855 for 40 pounds but his intentions remain a mystery, as no signs of settlement can be found today. The present owners, after 20 years enjoyment of the peace of the valley are sharing their pocket of paradise with a select few who want to leave the world behind for a while.
IMAGINE… Your own faithfully reproduced, self-contained solid slab Settler's Cottage with the luxury touch of stereo and double spa. Power and water are invisible, maintaining the magic and phone and T.V. are noticeably absent to preserve the peace. Two cottages nestle in their own clearings, totally isolated and two others share a large paddock at either end of a large waterhole with lotus, water-lilies and water birds, while the Mud-Brick Cottage, with its 1.8m conservatory spa, can sleep up to 8.
Whether for a romantic retreat for two, a group outing or family holiday with pets and kids, Hidden Valley is ideal. Lots of personal touches make you feel right at home and a noticeboard features local activities although most get no further than toasting marshmallows on the open fire or sipping complimentary champagne on the comfy couch or hammock on the front verandah. A swimming pool and tennis at the main homestead are also available for guests - as much to do or as little as you like.
For your comfort, all cottages are air conditioned.

The cottage is part of our 40 acres of paradise in beautifully secluded mountain country, surrounded by reserve leading down to the Grose River. There are mountains to climb, caves and creeks to explore, or … a comfy couch on your verandah where you can listen to the silence. |
