Adventures & Activities

Set free your inner explorer and go wild on our spectacular reserve, encountering native residents such as kangaroos, wallabies, possums and koalas and more. Our 4WD tours will take you through scenic tracks through our untouched environment – be sure to have your camera at the ready.

Wonder at the diverse birdlife of Wolgan Valley and the Blue Mountains, where more than 150 bird species can be spotted. Local species include the wedge-tailed eagle, cockatoos, lorikeets, kookaburras, black-shouldered kites, falcons and nankeen kestrels.

You’ll be engrossed as you learn the details of the meticulous efforts necessary to restore Wolgan Valley’s original homestead to its former glory. Our Field Guides will walk you back in time through the fascinating history of Australia’s early settlers and the challenges they faced.

Step into our azure pool and glide through the refreshing waters at the centre of our lush resort. Lined with plush loungers and with seasonal temperature control, our expansive swimming pool is made for socialising, while private pools are available at each and every villa.

Follow the exhilarating bike trails carved into Wolgan Valley’s vast and verdant terrain, through picturesque valleys and rising escarpments. Our skilled Field Guides will take keen adventurers off-track for more challenging rides; pack a picnic for all-day touring.

With two world-class tennis courts, you can work on your serve solo, have a friendly match with friends or take lessons to sharpen your game. Practise precision and develop your focus exploring the ancient art of archery on our scenic, dedicated hillside range.

Step back in time with a guided walking tour of the historic Newnes Industrial Ruins. This fascinating tour explores a period when heavy industry reigned supreme and many speculators sought their fortune in ‘black gold’ and shale oil. Your guide will reveal the stories and features of this historically significant landscape located on the edge of the Wollemi Wilderness Area and one of New South Wales’ most wild and scenic river systems.  

This tour will introduce you to Australia’s spectacular night sky. The remote nature of the reserve provides an unforgettable opportunity to experience the southern sky free from the competing lights of cities and towns. You will be collected from the homestead by your private guide, where you will be driven by 4WD to your remote, personal campfire. As you settle down to enjoy some delicious treats prepared for you by our culinary team, your guide will prepare the telescope for a tour of the southern sky.

This 4WD tour provides a memorable opportunity to observe some of Australia’s unique wildlife when they are most active. As the sun goes down, many of our smaller, less common animals emerge from their burrows, nests, tree hollows and dens to start foraging throughout the night. Your Field Guide will seek out the best places to encounter possums, wombats, gliding marsupials and owls, and to observe the nocturnal behaviour of kangaroos, wallabies and wallaroos.
