Location Summary
Just 190 kilometres, or a three hour drive from Sydney in New South Wales, Emirates Wolgan Valley Resort & Spa is remarkably accessible, yet feels a world away. The Blue Mountain townships are renowned for their quaint antique and curio shops, whilst the area boasts of attractions such as the Zig-zag Railway, cable car, Three Sisters and Jenolan Caves.

The Wolgan Valley is approximately 26 kilometres long, and varies in width from six or seven kilometres at its widest points before it narrows to a bottleneck of just one kilometre where the Wolgan River cuts a deep gorge through the sandstone. Tall, almost vertical cliffs, contrast with the gentle curve of the Valley floor and a private road branches off the Wolgan Road to follow the river through to the property.

Emirates Wolgan Valley Resort & Spa is located at the Eastern end of the Valley, at the foot of Mount Wolgan and Donkey Mountain (major landmarks at 877 and 995 metres above sea level respectively).

To ensure maximum privacy and seclusion, the resort is for exclusive use of our resident guests only. Outside or day visitors are not permitted.
