Parklands Country Gardens and Lodges

10/10 except the pillows were very average. Service was excellent and the scenery and township are beautiful. Plenty of dining options and opportunities to relax.

Great location for hiking. Beautiful old building. The lofts had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy reading and watching tv. We ate dinner at the couch both nights. The only problem was with the fireplace. It worked well the first night - dinner in on a rainy/foggy evening - but could not get it to work the next two nights.

Really enjoyed the sty. Staff are very pleasant.

Here's a more polished version of your review: Upon arrival, we were greeted by a pleasant property, with the main house exuding charm and elegance. However, as we made our way to the lodges, we noticed some litter in the parking area, likely left behind by housekeeping. Unfortunately, this initial impression extended to the lodges themselves, which seemed to lack some much-needed care and attention. The exterior could benefit from a thorough cleaning, while the interior, particularly the loft entry, would greatly improve with a fresh coat of paint to cover the numerous scuff marks. While the room itself was comfortable, with a cozy bed and pillows, we did find several issues. The carpet appeared to have been overlooked during cleaning, as we spotted bugs, fluff, and even long hair in the shower—certainly not ours. We decided to try the breakfast, and while the hot food was average, the coffee was a pleasant surprise and certainly a highlight of the meal. Overall, while the property has potential, we feel it better aligns with a 4-star standard rather than a 5-star experience. With a bit more attention to detail and care, it could certainly elevate its guest experience.

Family friendly hotel and spacious room.

My husband and I loved our stay. It’s peaceful and quiet in a convenient location with great dining options close by. Only negative was the pillows were uncomfortable and the shower heads pressure wasn’t great, first world problems, I know! Besides that, it’s such a beautiful place to stay and will definitely be coming back.

Wonderful property and grounds , a pleasant stay !

The surrounding garden and common areas were beautiful but inside the cottage needs some tlc and much better cleaning. the cottage also had a musty order probably due to the dirty carpet. will not stay here again.

Breakfast too expensive

Do not stay here

Love this place!

We stayed at this wonderful property for a weekend and it was amazing. The rooms are spacious and the amenities were top class. Area is very quiet and close to a number of walking tracks from Govett's Leap and Evan's Lookout. The staff during breakfast service were very attentive and friendly.

Nice and relaxing stay, thank you.

It was a return visit for us, and as per our last stay a couple of months back, every aspect of our getaway was exactly what we were looking for. Looking forwards to returning once again in the near future

Fantastic location for a peaceful Blue Mountains getaway. Accommodation was roomy (bigger than I thought it would be), perfect Loft Room with a fire spot on for winter. Would absolutely return to this property!

Peaceful with attentive staff.

Lovely stay, amazing property and helpful staff. Will be back!

Carpet needs vacuum and dusting

We booked into the superior suite, absolutely lovely. The layout was spacious and well designed, exactly what we were after. Would definitely recommend. Only two comments for improvement - the sofa bed for our daughter didn't have a proper quilt, just a polyester throw as a cover. Also the buffet breakfast was rather underwhelming, we ended up eating breakfast out. Otherwise, it was a really wonderful stay and we would happily return .

Loved it because it was very peaceful, relaxing, clean, warm and comfortable. Really comfy beds and pillows. Good warm shower. Beautiful gardens!, and communal sitting room! Disappointed we couldn’t get massages at the day spa - one of the reasons we’d chosen the place. Being offered one at Lilianfels defeated purpose of being able to just relax for a couple of days in the one place. Breakfast was great and lovely you offered a variety of options that were gluten free - one of us is a coeliac. Good to have Wifi. Although I had an online meeting and found signal very weak at the desk (one bar), but found two bars on lounge under the window next to the bed. All staff friendly and obliging - reception and breakfast room. After going out walking during the day, would have been great to be able to come back to a hot dinner in your lovely dining room in the evening - warm, healthy, hearty food. Roasts, thick soups, etc. A microwave in the room would also be useful, plus more milk, decaf coffee granules (Moccona!). Coffee machine coffee was nice but when I was tired, couldn’t be bothered working out how to use it. Also couldn’t work out if we could stream films on the TV set - would have been really nice to have been able to do this, or even play movies from a selection of DVDs. However a wonderful holiday - really relaxing break thank you.
