If you're are looking for a place to relax and can do without all the creature comforts of a five star hotel.... this is the place. The location is private, peaceful and scenic. Our cabin had views of the mountain ridge where you can just make out the houses of Mount Victoria village, which seem to teeter on the edge.... More

What a fantastic place to escape inner city living. After a nice drive from Sydney arriving at Secret Valley Escape mid arfternoon, we were greeted by staff and was informed our spa cottage was waiting for us. As the kangaroos came out to graze we were enjoying the tranquility of the valleys on our private balcony in the spa. We... More

My wife and I have very little opportunity to get away together and it had been over 18 months since we had some alone time. This was just what the doctor ordered being a true escape especially with no TV (but DVDs if you want to watch them). If you just want to escape from the hussle and bussle, sit... More

First off I have to say that this place meets the pure definition of a getaway. On getting there the road on my GPS went from 'unnamed' to no road at all. The arrow was travelling over a green screen and I knew were weren't in Kansas anymore. The last lot of roads getting there are unsealed, but in good... More

My husband popped the question in the spa whilst on a romantic weekend here in 2009.. we decided to come back this year for a celebration of sorts and were TERRIBLY disappointed. Whilst the setting is lovely in it's seclusion with a lovely jacuzzi.. i found the owner to be dismissive of delivering a poor breakfast weekend basket of only... More

Just booked a one night stay!. The property was good but lacked charisma. Highlights are Spa, Spa and Spa. Its best ever Spa and temperature is maintained at 38.5 which is awesome. Location is good but the maintenance is not that good. For the price of $330 per night with out breakfast, its definitely expensive. It got a funny 19inch... More

We booked a weekend Secret Valley Escape for a luxurious winter-mountain-retreat-with-fireplace experience away from the tourist crowds that clog a lot of the more well-visited places in the Blue Mountains these days. We definitely enjoyed ourselves. The cottages were located in the middle of a huge area of remote woodland that we did a couple of very nice walks over,... More

Highly recommended for anyone wanting a romantic getaway. The cabins are beautiful and the view is amazing. You can cozy up in front of the fire, or relax in the spa on the balcony with a glass of champagne. There is a BBQ outside, and a stove and microwave inside, so you don't need to leave your room if you... More

My partner and I came here to celebrate our 4 year anniversary - we were very much looking forward to spending a romantic weekend away from the city hustle and bustle, and were not disappointed. The property is situated about 5km from the nearest main road - the track was a bit bumpy - the 5km road to get there... More

This is the worst experience I have ever had in all my travels. The cottages are up a very steep and dangerous inclined which is unsealed. On our return to the cottage late at night we were forced to leave the car at the bottom and walk to the top in the freezing cold. The website stated breakfast included ....... More

Secret Valley Escape is a beautiful 200 acre retreat located in the Blue Mountains, in a very peaceful and tranquil environment. We are not located on the main highway, which is why Secret Valley we can offer the sense of seclusion and tranquility that is not found in most accomodation sites. From the highway, there is a 10 - 15... More
