Almost 3,000 hectares of the Greater Blue Mountains play host to this conservation-based resort, about three hours from Sydney. The World Heritage-listed area was explored by and dazzled Charles Darwin in the 19th century.

The area is home to four Aboriginal nations, which have called the area home for 40,000 years. Stay at this retreat and get a unique glimpse into their lives, both past and present, not to mention sightings of the rare fauna. See dingoes, wallabies, koalas and kangaroos, plus lesser-known animals such as tiger quolls, yellow-bellied gliders and potoroos.
