Dennarque Estate, Mount Wilson

Tranquility, Serenity, Beauty The quaint heritage garden village of Mount Wilson was settled by the well-heeled society in Sydney as their summer retreat in the 1870's. ​ Dennarque Estate is situated on the highest point in the Village. The original sandstone house was built in 1879 by former Aide-de-Camp to the Governor, Commissioner for Crown Lands and Clerk of the Executive Council, Edward Merewether, who lived there with his wife Augusta and 10 children. ​ The original gardens were designed by Charles Moore, Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney. ​ Rarely open to the public, the extensive manicured cool climate gardens are ideal for the perfect retreat, small conferences, or a small wedding for up to 50 guests. ​ Today, Dennarque Estate is available to those who wish to experience nature at its best as in in-house guest.
