Secret Valley Escape

Welcome to Secret Valley Escape, a magnificent 200 acre romantic retreat located in Little Hartley in the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area, a short 2 hour drive from Sydney.

A world where time is still. Wake up to the morning light, step out onto your balcony and watch kangaroos foraging in the mist. Meander down to Blackheath Creek where the water runs over the rocks and search for platypus and turtles. Take a picnic through the valley, and ascend to the high fields where the wind sings to the gumtrees. In the evening take a glass of wine and sink into your private outdoor jacuzzi; breathe in the cool bush air and watch the colours slowly shift into a clear starlit sky.

Secret Valley Escape is an exclusive retreat open only to guests in order to preserve the absolute serenity and magical experience of the Australian bush. ... [+] More There are numerous walking trails to explore all the hidden corners of our 200 acre retreat: from the serene valley down to the cool waters, up along the cliffside to stunning lookout and meditation points. We share our home with families of roaming kangaroos and wallabies. For time to explore our secret valley and savour this magical experience we do recommend staying at least 2 nights.

Come to Secret Valley Escape, and you will truly find a unique place of beauty and serenity.
