Your very own exclusive estate in the Blue Mountains
About this house rental
Dantosa Blue Mountains Retreat provides you with a secluded 9-acre estate with numerous walking paths, private gardens, a private lake, floating lake house, tennis court, BBQ facilities, gazebo and even its own croquet lawn. Dantosa is a 5-minute drive from the famous Three Sisters and the Blue Mountains World Heritage National Park. Originally a goat farm, the property has a 30-year-old established Blue Mountains garden and accommodation in two buildings - Dantosa House and nearby Dantosa Cottage.

As one guest puts it, “You live in a beautiful oasis, and yet you are only minutes away from restaurants, shops and the national park.” Enjoy a game of tennis, kayaking on the lake, a game of boules or a stroll in the beautiful gardens. After a day’s bushwalking, come back to luxury. Arrange for a local chef to cater for your group, take a spa bath, or simply gather around the log fireplace with a glass of wine and your friends.

We had a family holiday for 14 people with members aged from 5 to nearly 80 years. The property was beautiful, the accommodation comfortable to luxurious, and the leisure facilities were excellent as shown on the website. Apart from the outdoors activities onsite and the National Park, there were books and games for bad weather or quieter times. We had booked for 2020 but Covid put a stop to that and the management were very generous in rebooking us for the same period this year. Derek was an excellent and considerate host, met us on arrival with a splendid table of gourmet snacks, and was quick to respond to questions about minor issues during our stay. We are so glad to have this wonderful experience and hope to repeat it some time in the future.

We had a fantastic weekend at Dantosa House & Cottage. The house is amazing, fantastic facilities - the kitchen, large tv, fireplace, heating etc! Grounds are beautiful. We played tennis, went for walks around the property, went on kayaks on the lake, played board games in the lake house and did lots of cooking in their fantastic commercial style kitchen. Would highly recommend Dantosa House as everything you need to stay, enjoy and have fun without leaving the property is catered for. Jane and Geoff the Property Managers were very friendly and helpful. Would love to stay there again!

We enjoyed the whole property, house and cottage. The bathroom in the cottage was interesting and really could use the addition of an exhaust fan. Otherwise all was great for an extended family get together.

Perfect setting
Thanks to Geoff for booking arrangements and Sam for showing the property. Was perfect place to have quality extended family time (and for my sons to have a hit of tennis). Lovely inside out and surrounds. Would like to try lake house in winter with pot belly stove going. Kayaks a bonus as was chopped would and complimentary wines on arrival. Cheers
