VALLEY RESORT AND
SPA, AUSTRALIA
You don’t have to go overseas to lock
yourselves away in ultimate luxury. The
NSW Blue Mountains are home to more
than just the Three Sisters and tourists.
Tucked into a 26km valley on the edge of
Wollemi National Park, Wolgan Valley
Resort and Spa is surrounded by dramatic
escarpments, the rock walls keeping nature
in and visitors out.
Privacy is a huge draw card here. When
Hamish Blake and Zoe Foster wed in the
lovingly restored 1832 homestead, even the
other guests didn’t catch on. The whole
hectare. Head out to one of the resort’s
picnic platforms, where tables, chairs, wool
blankets, champagne and a basket of
freshly baked goodies are set up for you to
enjoy while the kangaroos watch on.
The 36 Heritage Suites each have their
own plunge pool, four poster bed, gas
fireplace, walk in robe and bath. There’s a
collection of vintage books for you to peruse
and a glass carafe to go with the fully stocked
and inclusive mini bar in case you get thirsty.
Book in for the Romance Package
and arrive to rose petals, a bottle of Bollinger
and local, handmade Josophan’s chocolates.
wolganvalley.comworld found out about Michael Clarke and
Kyly Boldy’s wedding but only when they
published shots of their day with the
Resort’s dramatic bush land as background.
Once you drive down into the Valley,
you’re off the grid. Creature comforts are
still the number one priority but you can put
your phone away. It won’t work here.
Instead, there’s horse riding, wilderness
walks, archery, tennis courts, private plunge
pools, wildlife spotting and a day spa to
occupy your time.
Wolgan Valley Resort uses just 2 per cent
of its 4000 acres. The rest is conservation
land, where there’s kangaroos, wallaroos,
wallabies, and roughly 12 wombats per300 | bridetobe.com.auWOLGAN VALLEY RESORT’S
