Botanic Garden Jungle Lodge | House in Mount Tomah

Welcome to Botanic Garden Jungle Lodge - a unique holiday destination for family and friends who love plants and gardens. Jungle Lodge is the only official accommodation in Blue Mountain Botanic Garden. It offers 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms to accommodate up to 10 guests with generous kitchen, lounge and outdoor space. Surrounded by exotic local plants and flowers, this is a true immersive experience in a famous botanic garden within a world-heritage national park. The Jungle Lodge is a generously sized 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom self contained accommodation facility able to sleep 10 guests in comfort. With full kitchen facilities, bbq, television, stereo and slow combustion wood fire, The Jungle Lodge is suitable for families, groups or couples wanting to refresh and invigorate. Feel the stresses of life fade away as you drink in the panoramic views across the Blue Mountains from the luxurious leather sofas surrounding the slow combustion fireplace. Within The Jungle, explore one of the few easily accessible patches of Blue Mountains rainforest with its abundant bird and animal life, or venture out to discover the many attractions the Blue Mountains has on offer. The Lodge is situated on Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust land, adjacent to the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden, Mount Tomah. This land was once part of a larger property purchased in the 1920s by a group of Sydney businessmen to save the magnificent sassafras and coachwood trees from the timber mill while providing Sydney with a national park to its west. Known as The Jungle, it was opened by the then Governor Admiral Sir Dudley DeChair on 23 March 1929. The newly constructed walk was dedicated to the memory of Sir James Fairfax KBE. However, the Jungle never achieved its destiny as a national park. The Great Depression coupled with pressure for building funds for the Sydney Harbour Bridge led in 1934 to the land being resumed by the previous owners, the Charley family. In 2008, 33 hectares of the original Jungle was purchased by the Botanic Gardens Trust Sydney with the financial support of John and Elizabeth Fairfax and the NSW Government’s Environmental Trust. Now part of the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden, Mount Tomah, The Jungle is again in public hands giving visitors an opportunity to experience and understand Blue Mountains’ rainforest.
