Everglades House & Gardens
Everglades
A 1930s art deco-style estate and terraced gardens in Leura, managed by the National Trust of Australia (NSW), with views over Jamison Valley.
Everglades was built in the 1930s. Danish garden designer Paul Sorensen laid out the terraced gardens built into the hillside, with stone steps and woodland lawns. At the end of the gardens, you can look out over Jamison Valley. The house retains its original furniture and has a small exhibition. Admission is about AUD 15, and it opens at certain times on most days of the week (check the official website). It's most lively during spring flowering season. It's about a 20-minute walk from the main street of Leura.
Opening hours
About 10:00 am–4:00 pm (may be shorter in winter)
