Dennarque Estate is of important historical significance, based in Mount Wilson, NSW, in the Blue Mountains National Park. With 24 acres of historical, picturesque, cool-climate gardens, the Estate offers a unique location to host your wedding, special event, retreat, corporate stay, or a getaway. With a choice of 4 luxury cottages, a conservatory, and a vast outdoor garden space, the possibilities are endless.
Dennarque Estate is situated on the highest point in the Village of Mount Wilson, NSW. The two-level sandstone homestead, one of the original buildings in Mount Wilson, was built by former Aide-de-Camp to the Governor, Commissioner for Crown Lands and Clerk of the Executive Council, Edward Merewether in 1879, who lived there with his wife Augusta and 10 children.
The heritage gardens were originally planted by Charles Moore, Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney, with plants introduced from various countries around the world. Set on 24 acres, the gardens are regarded by many as one of the best cold-climate gardens in Australia. There are many rare species of maples, rhododendrons, camellias, azaleas, hydrangeas and many old tree ferns which grace the gardens. Today, the property retains many of the original plantings.
Rarely open to the public, the extensive manicured cool climate gardens are ideal for the perfect retreat, or Elopements for an intimate group up to 20 persons, or a micro Wedding for up to 50 guests.
Today, Dennarque Estate is available to those who wish to experience nature at its best as an in-house guest with a choice of 4 cottages which sleep 12 persons.
