Lilianfels Blue Mountains

Perched on the magnificent Jamison Valley and overlooking the World Heritage Listed Blue Mountains, Lilianfels is a renowned haven of relaxation by among its guests. This historic European style country house, set amidst two acres of English style gardens and just a short drive from Sydney, is a breath-taking escape for romantics, a delight for gourmets and a wonder for lovers of nature.

The historic home ‘Lilianfels’, built in 1889, has been transformed to its original splendour and now houses the award-winning Darley’s restaurant, named after the original owner. The adjoining country house has been designed in line with the architecture of the heritage home.

Surrounded by nature, Lilianfels also sits adjacent to The Three Sisters in the World Heritage Listed Blue Mountains National Park. The Three Sisters symbolize the pride of the Blue Mountains with their towering escarpments and awe-inspiring depths. Discover the heart of the Blue Mountains wilderness, experience ancient rainforests, deep canyons, spectacular waterfalls and secluded Aboriginal sites. The staff at Lilianfels will be more than happy to recommend and arrange tailor made tours and activities to suit your individual interests.

At Lilianfels, you can be yourself whilst enjoying all the creature comforts of an exclusive luxury retreat. The 85 rooms and suites are large, comfortable and welcoming. All are decorated in a style reminiscent of the area’s Victorian heritage with a contemporary flavour with lush fabrics including organza with silk drapes, lavish pink, green and lilac themed rooms predominate. The sumptuous floral designs bring the outdoors in, inviting you to curl up in a sofa and wile away the hours. Sink into their extra deep baths and luxuriate in the red wine exfoliating treatment. The marble bathrooms offer separate bath and shower, with each room featuring views over the English style gardens, or the backdrop of Echo Point with its vast mountains and plunging valleys. From the crispest sheets and fluffiest towels to the locally bottled mountain spring water and turn down, no detail has been overlooked.

In addition to guest rooms, Lilianfels features a spacious lounge with open fires, a reading room, billiard room, fabulous indoor and outdoor heated swimming pools, spa and health club facilities, a tennis court, mountain bikes and Italian cuisine at the Tre Sorelle restaurant.

Surrender to the ultimate pampering pleasure in their Blue Mountains spa retreat - a revitalizing haven for your body and soul. Immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature where you can relax and rejuvenate amidst the pristine beauty of the Australian wilderness surrounded by the breathtaking view and forests of fragrant eucalypts. Re-energize yourself with their boundless choice of outdoor adventures – choose from bush walking, bike riding, golfing and tennis.

At dusk, sit back at Lilianfels and sip champagne while you enjoy a fiery sunset that reflects off sandstone cliffs and plunging gorges. Perched on the cliff tops at Lilianfels you have a 'prime seat' for the evening's finale - one that will take your breath away.
