About this property
Jacaranda Cottage @ Hidden Valley Retreat Cottages
PROPERTY SETTING: Hidden Valley Retreat Cottages is conveniently close to Sydney yet you couldn’t feel more removed from the hustle and bustle of daily life once you arrive. Set on 40 acres of pristine land near Kurrajong, in the Hawkesbury area, we are tucked away in the foothills of the Blue Mountains. This is the perfect place for anyone looking to relax in the peace and tranquillity of the rainforest, listening to the birds and the running water of the creek. Take a walk to enjoy the natural beauty of the wild, bushland that abounds, sip fine wine picked up on your day’s travel into the valley or sit by the open fire listening to your favourite music; do as much or as little as you like.
THE COTTAGE: Jacaranda Cottage, named after the shady Jacaranda trees beside it, is a traditional settler-style log cabin with two bedrooms (a queen and a twin). Fresh linen and towels are provided and the beds have electric blankets. There's a basic kitchenette and private BBQ to cater for simple meals. The cottage boasts open fire and air-conditioning/heating as well as a double bath with jets. Looking out from your veranda you can see and hear the birds in the trees and feel the calm of the spring-fed pond.
THE PROPERTY: Jacaranda Cottage is one of five secluded, private, self-contained rustic cabins, each in their own separate area of forest on the property. They are available individually or as a group for up to 24 people. A tennis court is available for use up the hill at the main house. Pets welcome by arrangement.
SIGHTS: Nearby attractions include the beautiful botanical gardens of Mt Tomah, quaint Kurrajong village, Richmond markets and the historic Windsor all within 10 to 30 mins drive and well worth a visit. On our doorstep are two World Heritage National Parks, the Blue Mountains and the Wollomi, not to mention the Grose River ideal for a quick swim, or the mighty Hawkesbury River for more.
Grose Vale, a neighborhood in Sydney, is home to this cabin. Blue Mountains National Park and Devils Hole Creek Reserve reflect the area's natural beauty and area attractions include Hawkesbury Showground and Hawkesbury Regional Gallery.

Situated in a hidden valley it is a peaceful place with lovely trees and birds. The property is a great well maintained slab hut with modern facilities. We loved it and will return.

The property is excellent for a valley cabin. Well stocked with essentials and fire place and pit are nice additions. Host Fiona is super friendly and helpful. Recommended for people want to escape the busy city life
So much space for our puppy, and the stream was lovely to swim in. Such a beautiful property and we felt all alone which we love. We barbecued, swam and relaxed totally.
A real retreat. Thank you so much Fiona.
The place and location was fantastic.
Lovely place, however there was only a little issue the spa bath never worked, which was a little bit disappointing. But overall it was a great place.
Beautiful private haven. As soon as the cottage appeared the feeling of serenity set in. Holidays usually take a day or too to unwind but the inner peace was immediate. Karen (the hardworking caretaker) was such a lovely lady and meeting her and willow (her furbaby) was an added bonus.
was an added bonus had with mine.
Jacaranda Cottage is a beautifully presented little abode in a quiet and stunning area of Grose Vale. The Host provided just about everything we needed for our weekend away including the wood for our outdoor fire. All instructions and advice provided was absolutely spot on. The nearby national park provided us with a sensational walk down to the river and also a scenic view of the valley itself. The property was very clean and tidy, the beds were comfortable, and the amenities were very suitable. The ambience of the property made our stay most enjoyable. I would most certainly recommend a stay at this cottage or one of the others at Hidden Valley Retreat Cottages.
We had an absolute great time in the cottage, it had everything we needed. Closeby a great and steep walk (not for small kids), to a desolate swimming place. Just perfect for our family christmas!
Perfect communication with the host.
Hidden Valley is a gem, if your aim is to have some country air, listen to the birds, be creative, hang out with friends or family, with none of the pressures to be in touch with the rest of the world.
Fabulous rustic cottage with thoughtful inclusions; I don’t want to go into specifics and ruin the surprise for when you get there.
So close to Sydney but you feel a world away.
While we all had a great time, our dog had the best time ever! Everything you need to get away from it all. I have a feeling we will be back more than once!
