Everglades House and Gardens Leura is a unique experience for the whole family, located in the lovely Leura. You will be transported back to the 1930s as you explore the beautifully designed 5.2 hectare cold climate gardens, sweeping views over the Jamison Valley and discover the bespoke architecture of the art deco designed Blue Mountains weekend retreat of Henri Van de Velde.

What To Expect At Everglades House and Gardens Leura

Lush Green Grass

Kids will enjoy discovering the gardens on foot and be amazed at all of the lush green grass for running and handstands!

The Grotto

The Grotto is a favourite spot with the kids, with a bridge to cross and a pretty waterfall and pool to find. It must have been a wonderful spot for swimming back in the day!

The Historic House

The art deco house, designed by Danish landscape designer and horticulturalist, Paul Sorenson, is truly impressive (but the staircase banister is quite low, so keep kids close to you and away from the edge).

Beautiful Views

The views of the Jamison Valley provide a magical backdrop for Everglades Garden. You will find surprising frames for memorable family pictures.

There is a nice lookout along the track. The fence at the lookout is a stunning art deco design (but you must keep children well back because there are large gaps in the fence).

Everglades Historic House and Gardens Gallery and Tea Rooms

Visit the Everglades Gallery to learn about the fascinating history of this beautiful art deco 1030s house.

Although the Tea Rooms are currently closed, you may like to bring your own morning tea, lunch or afternoon snack and enjoy a picnic on the beautiful grounds instead.
