"Absolutely brilliant hidden gem in the Blue Mountains! The cottages were immaculate and the gardens were beautiful and a delight to stroll in."
"My husband and I had our wedding reception at Dennarque Estate in February 2023. We had the most wonderful experience with the assistance of their manager Nicole who went above and beyond to make sure our big day went off smoothly. The accommodation was so luxurious and well laid out. The venue itself and all the gardens that make up the property were so spectacular our guests were blown away by how beautiful the nature was that surrounded them. It was an enormous plus that our dogs were allowed to stay and participate in the event – they had the best time! We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have had our wedding at this historic and magnificent estate."
"The accommodation was great! Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately there was a thunderstorm so we only had wifi the evening we arrived and not for the next 2 days. (The accommodation itself was great!) Despite this the staff were all very friendly was prompt to try to fix the internet. If not for the internet issue I would rate the accommodation 10/10 :) I would definitely recommend revisiting this place! Booked Koonawarra (not sure about other houses) Accommodation+ environment 5/5 Staff 5/5 Total rating 4.5/5 (drop due to internet but not the accommodation’s fault therefore rated the accommodation 5/5)"
"Our Wedding Weekend - Venue and Accommodation We viewed the venue in the pouring rain from the back of a golf cart and it was magical. That is the only way to describe Dennarque Estate - pure magic. Ivana was incredible from day one - there was no ask that was too big, and she allowed us to create every single element of our day without restriction. There are so many garden rooms and areas to be utilised that no two weddings at Dennarque would ever need to be the same. We choose a ceremony and garden party location that had never been used before and the Dennarque team helped our vision come to life at every step. Our reception was held in the Conservatory and we even threw an afterparty complete with roasted marshmallows over a campfire on the patio outside Wisteria lodge. The gardeners were fantastic and helped us hang fairy lights, move chairs, stock fireplaces and had the entire venue looking perfect for our day. Our intimate wedding was stretched out over the full weekend from Thursday to Sunday, and our guests were wowed from the moment they entered. Even our suppliers were so impressed with the views everywhere we turned! The day following the wedding we had games, activities, and a movie night with our guests at Dennarque and we couldn't be happier with how it all turned out. The accommodation was perfect for getting ready, and beautiful for photos. There was also so many options nearby for our guests to book so that all 40 of us could stay at Mt Wilson. We wholeheartedly recommend Dennarque Estate for a getaway, reunion, wedding, or corporate event and cannot wait to come back and stay for many wedding anniversaries to come! Thank you so much to Ivana and the team that made our day so incredible!"
"Our wedding wouldnt have been as magical as what is was without this incredible backdrop. The Estate is everything and more that you could want. No shortage of ceremony locations or photo opportunities. Ivana, the Venue Manager was incredibly helpful and informative since our first visit and anything we wanted or required Dennarque accommodated. Its a beautiful blank slate to build your dream wedding, not to mention the amount of accomodation on site to sleep the entire bridal party. We cannot wait to return for our anniversaries."
