Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley, Blue Mountains
Please note: as a result of damage sustained during a landslide in 2022, Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley will sadly be closed for the foreseeable future.
Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley offers the rare opportunity to experience true luxury in a spectacular Australian bush setting. The property borders the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage region and is set within its own private conservation and wildlife reserve. The hotel itself is but a tiny dot in these rolling lands – but oh, what a beautiful spot it is. 40 individual lodges, each with its own private indoor/outdoor swimming pool and a main homestead with gorgeous views of the valley make for a stunning stay immersed in the wilderness.
Location
Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley is nestled to the East of Wolgan Valley with Mount Wolgan and Donkey Mountain on your doorstep. What’s more, the valley adjoins the famous world heritage-listed Blue Mountains, one of the most popular natural landscapes in Australia. With Sydney only 190 km away, reaching this beautiful wilderness isn’t as hard as you’d think; a mere 3-hour drive or, if you choose to travel by helicopter, a swift 45 minutes.
Your Room
The heritage suites’ wood and stone materials seamlessly blend luxury into these stunning natural surroundings whilst your private pool, complete with a deck and wrap-around veranda, takes you into it. Inside boasts a large living room and bathroom with luxurious touches including a double-sized fireplace, king-sized bed and two mountain bikes for you to cruise around the wilderness as you please.
Why we like it
The undeniably tranquil privacy of the heritage suites is what sealed the deal for us. The lodges are set at the foot of Mount Wolgan and Donkey Mountain, with the spectacular limestone cliff edges soaring above your doorstep. Sit on the deck, enjoy a glass of wine and absorb the awesome views of cliffs plummeting into the densely forested valley.
