Luxury bespoke holidays and tours to Lilianfels, Blue Mountains

Overlooking the majestic Blue Mountains from its position above the lush Jamison Valley, Lilianfels is a luxurious retreat, adjacent to the towering escarpments of the Three Sisters. The hotel consists of two adjoining buildings: the historic home, built in 1889 and now housing Darley's restaurant, and the country house, which reflects the style of the old house but was opened in 1992. This Victorian heritage is reflected throughout the hotel, and especially so in the guestrooms. Lush fabrics such as organza and silk are combined with soft colours of greens and lilacs to create a soothing and relaxing atmosphere. The hotel has two restaurants, Darley's serving fine contemporary Australian cuisine, and Tre Sorelle which offers classic Italian dishes in a more casual ambience. The hotel's spa offers treatments that are based upon ancient Aboriginal spirituality and healing traditions, such as with a Mirri facial treatment, which uses macadamia, wild rosella and lillypilly for a quick revitalisation. The hotel runs guided bushwalk tours daily that offer an insight into the natural situation of the hotel and early Australian cultural traditions. Set in two-acres of gardens, this is a beautiful and peaceful retreat.

About New South Wales and Sydney

An Expressions tailor-made holiday to New South Wales and Sydney encompasses all of Australia’s diversity, with lush rainforests, isolated outback landscape and Alpine country, combined with rich Aborigine and European history. Sydney is a vibrant cosmopolitan city, with excellent beaches and culture. The land stretches out from the city to the mystical Blue Mountains, and beyond that to the wine country of the Hunter valley and the arid desert. Along the coast, resort towns utilise the golden sands and warm climate, but south of the city it is possible to find a little more seclusion in the more picturesque and less developed coastal towns.

Highlights of New South Wales and Sydney

Circular Quay for magnificent panoramas of the Sydney harbour, Experience Sydney’s beach culture at Bondi Beach, Wildlife and wilderness in the Blue Mountains, Yulefest in July in the Blue Mountains – complete with log fires and yuletide trimmings for a ‘traditional Christmas’, Skiing in the Snowy Mountains, Visit the outback and the beautiful Mutawintji National Park in the far northwest of the state, The unspoilt south coast and its fishing villages, Vineyard tours in the Hunter Valley.
