Rather be Elsewhere? Then escape to Elsewhere Retreat and enjoy a unique Blue Mountains experience in the magical Megalong Valley.
*COMPLIMENTARY FIREWOOD, CHAMPAGNE, SATELLITE TV, WIFI INTERNET & ALL BED & BATH LINEN. SUNDAY LATE CHECKOUT - ANY TIME YOU LIKE all this and so much more.
Elsewhere Retreat is a secluded haven on 40 acres with stunning views of rolling hills and escarpment in the magical Megalong Valley. It is supremely private with no other house or accommodation on the property or visible from anywhere on the property, yet only 20 minutes from Blackheath and all the attractions of the Blue Mountains. You will have the entire property to yourself. You can choose to swing in a hammock or be energetic and explore the property, wandering along the meandering creek and picnicking at the table beside it, or hunting out the wombat burrows that dot the property.
The house itself is graced with cathedral ceilings, picture windows, open fireplaces and all modern amenities, including furniture and fittings to the highest standard so that your comfort is guaranteed.
There are breathtaking views from every window and wrap-around verandahs on all sides of the house from which you can gaze at the escarpment, or just follow the sun from East to West as the day unfolds. Explore the 40 acres and follow the meandering creek or sit and enjoy the view from the viewing seats above the house. Whether you grab one of our bikes to explore or choose to snooze in a hammock or rocking chair on the verandah, you cannot fail to be captivated by the magic of Elsewhere.
All linen and firewood is provided and there is an extensive library of books, DVDs, CDs, videos, games and even 4 mountain bikes and helmets.
We pride ourselves on making Elsewhere your home away from home, trying to provide every little thing you would expect to have in your own home - which is why so many of our guests come back to stay again and again. Don't just take our word for it - read our guests' reviews.
At Elsewhere, there is plenty to do or nothing to do..... the choice is yours.
