The gardens were originally designed over 135 years ago by the then Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney director, Charles Moore.

The Gardens still retain a large number of original plantings that were introduced from various countries around the world planted in the late 19th Century. There are many rare species of maples, rhododendrons, camellias, dahlias and many old tree ferns which grace the gardens. Rarely open to the public, Dennarque Estate is now available to in-house guests staying at Hydrangea Cottage.

Beautiful stay in the blue mountains. Only about 30 mins from all the main attractions and towns. It was nice to be hidden away... the perfect place to be if you want to disconnect and relax. The cott...age was so cosy and we really enjoyed absorbing all the surrounding nature and roaming through the well-kept gardens. We loved that the owners had shared recommendations for local eateries and other tips during our stay. Our only suggestion is that the Dennaraque estate should add a bit more personal touch to the kitchen essentials and welcome pack. Overall it was amazing. We will definitely come back. Thanks, Lata!

Was the absolute perfect place for a romantic anniversary weekend. Quiet, peaceful whilst still having access to wifi and tv if wanted. The electric blankets in the gorgeous loft bedroom were very w...elcome as we were there in the dead of winter. Firewood was well stocked too, thank goodness. When the rain eased a walk around the grounds and a hit on the tennis court was lovely. We will definitely be back.

Long Walks At Dennarque Estate

Dennarque Estate is known for its beautifully manicured gardens, and for the three days we were there, we ensured a long walk every day to cover every inch of the estate.

From almost-riped cherry trees to every single type of flower you could imagine, and even a traditional Japanese garden- we spent hours walking along every pathway in Dennarque Estate.

Mount Wilson Scenic Drive

The area has magnificent bushland and rainforest, walks and canyons as well as historic houses and grand exotic gardens, some of which are open to the public.

Explore Mount Wilson

If you go for a drive along the Bells Line of Road, we recommend taking a detour to Mount Wilson! With stunning lookouts and rainforests, it is perfect for an afternoon wander. We particularly loved wandering through the Cathedral of Ferns, a short and tranquil walk amongst majestic stands of tree ferns and scrambling vines.

Waterfall Circuit Track

You will be in awe of the superb rainforest vegetation including giant coachwood, sassafras, corkwood and tree ferns, as well as beautiful waterfalls on Waterfall Creek. The track takes you past two waterfalls, one small and one large, then returns to the reserve.
