About this property

Elsewhere Retreat Spectacular views, serenity & privacy on 40 acres in Megalong

Elsewhere Retreat is not currently taking bookings while we undertake some renovations and road repairs. We apologise if this disappoints you.

Rather be Elsewhere? Then escape to Elsewhere Retreat and enjoy a unique Blue Mountains experience in the magical Megalong Valley.

*COMPLIMENTARY FIREWOOD, CHAMPAGNE, SATELLITE TV, WIFI INTERNET & ALL BED & BATH LINEN. SUNDAY LATE CHECKOUT - ANY TIME YOU LIKE all this and so much more.

Elsewhere Retreat is a secluded haven on 40 acres with stunning views of rolling hills and escarpment in the magical Megalong Valley. It is supremely private with no other house or accommodation on the property or visible from anywhere on the property, yet only 20 minutes from Blackheath and all the attractions of the Blue Mountains. You will have the entire property to yourself. You can choose to swing in a hammock or be energetic and explore the property, wandering along the meandering creek and picnicking at the table beside it, or hunting out the wombat burrows that dot the property.

The house itself is graced with cathedral ceilings, picture windows, open fireplaces and all modern amenities, including furniture and fittings to the highest standard so that your comfort is guaranteed.

There are breathtaking views from every window and wrap-around verandahs on all sides of the house from which you can gaze at the escarpment, or just follow the sun from East to West as the day unfolds. Explore the 40 acres and follow the meandering creek or sit and enjoy the view from the viewing seats above the house. Whether you grab one of our bikes to explore or choose to snooze in a hammock or rocking chair on the verandah, you cannot fail to be captivated by the magic of Elsewhere.

All linen and firewood is provided and there is an extensive library of books, DVDs, CDs, videos, games and even 4 mountain bikes and helmets.

We pride ourselves on making Elsewhere your home away from home, trying to provide every little thing you would expect to have in your own home - which is why so many of our guests come back to stay again and again. Don't just take our word for it - read our guests' reviews.

At Elsewhere, there is plenty to do or nothing to do..... the choice is yours.

Serenity at its best
This property is absolutely beautiful. The house is so comfortable and has all the comforts for an amazing weekend away. A group of friends had a weekend here and didn’t want to leave. The hosts were fantastic to deal with. If you want a magical weekend away - stay at Elsewhere.

Memorable retreat for a birthday celebration
‘Elsewhere’ provided a beautiful location to celebrate a 60th birthday with family and friends. The property was immaculately presented, both inside and out. The kitchen was so well appointed, with everything we could have needed, including a little sewing kit with pins, that we could use to pin the ribbon to the birthday cake! The beds were warm and cozy and the heated floors in the bathrooms a lovely surprise. The living space was fantastic for our group. The views and the location were superb. It is exactly as it looks on-line, if not better. Thank you so much to the hosts. It is a very beautiful property.

Friends get-together
Great getaway. Stunning views, very relaxing, very welcoming hosts. Activities provided by host but we just roamed the property and chilled out. Excellent info folder provided by host. Local Tea Rooms + Dry Ridge Estate winery both highly recommended. We enjoyed game of golf and local walks.

We love providing all the comforts of home for our guests so that you feel as if you are being welcomed into our home rather than a sterile holiday house

Why they chose this property

Elsewhere has the perfect layout for guests with bedrooms all down one end of the house with a door to the large open plan living/dining area. Then there is the view and the peace and quiet! Just sublime... The light changes throughout the day, the birdlife provides constant entertainment and it is just so magical! Words do not do it justice. One guest wrote in our visitors book that she had finally found Utopia.... and that says it all!
