Our gardens
Set on a tranquil 28-acre heritage estate beside the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains National Park, Parklands Country Garden & Lodges welcomes guests through sweeping gates and a century-old, tree-lined drive.
Following the vision of the late Thomas Kerslake, Parklands Country Garden and Lodges has developed its own private Blue Mountains organic kitchen garden within the grounds.
The splendour of Parklands is almost overwhelming as you drive through the sweeping gates leading off Govetts Leap Road.
The driveway, lined with old pines, cypresses and Japanese maples that were planted over one hundred years ago, takes you past glorious flower beds and sweeping green lawns to reveal a luxurious homestead and intimate garden cottages in the traditional Blue Mountains weatherboard style.
Complete with new vegetable garden beds covering an area of 4000 sqm, various fruit orchards, rose gardens, a dedicated compost area and a workshop for processing and packaging.
Today our grounds include an outdoor terrace & fireplace, BBQ area, private lake with jetty, kitchen garden & orchids, and jogging/walking tracks within and near the Retreat.
