Wisteria Lodge | Mt Wilson | 24 Acres of Established Heritage Botanical Garden

Wisteria Lodge has a large outdoor fireplace and outdoor seating for 6. It also has an indoor fireplace, open plan living area with a kitchen, dining and lounge area, a modern bathroom and a comfortable King Size bed.

Located on 24 acres of historical Dennarque Estate gardens, which have been featured in local and international media, and regarded by many as the best cold climate garden in Australia.

The gardens were designed over 140 years ago by the then Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney director, Charles Moore. The Gardens still retain a large number of original plantings from late 1880s that were introduced from various countries around the world.

There are many rare species of maples, rhododendrons, camellias, dahlias and many other exotic and rare plants. A Japanese influenced garden has recently been added to Estate.

Rarely open to the public, the exotic cool climate gardens of Dennarque Estate are best experienced as in-house guests.

Simply Amazing

The place looks brand new, nothing like in the photos. Feels like an instant celebrity, staying in million dollar garden with hundred years of history. Thank you for opening such a gem for rental. Perfect place to escape the tourist crowd during autumn. Fully equip and well maintained private escape, fit for royalty.
