The Grand Saddles Lodge Set to Redefine Luxury Escapes at Mount White This Spring

The Grand Saddles Lodge

For travellers seeking a refined countryside escape close to Sydney, a remarkable new destination is preparing to welcome its first guests. Opening this spring, The Grand Saddles Lodge at Mount White promises to combine luxury accommodation, award-worthy dining, wellness experiences and the natural beauty of the Central Coast into one unforgettable retreat.

Located less than an hour from Sydney, this exciting new development marks the next chapter in the evolution of Saddles Mount White, creating a premium destination where guests can relax, celebrate special occasions and reconnect with nature.

A Luxury Lodge in the Heart of Nature

Created by Australian entrepreneur John Singleton, The Grand Saddles Lodge has been designed as an intimate luxury retreat featuring just 20 beautifully appointed private villas surrounded by native bushland.

The journey begins along a winding driveway through towering Australian trees before guests arrive at the striking glass-domed entrance. Inside, warm sandstone, spotted gum timber, polished brass finishes and handcrafted furnishings create a welcoming atmosphere inspired by the colours and textures of the surrounding landscape.

Designed by Michelle Leslie in collaboration with White + Dickson Architects, every detail has been carefully considered to celebrate the beauty of Mount White while delivering exceptional comfort and understated elegance.

Private Villas Designed for Relaxation

Each villa has been thoughtfully positioned among the trees to maximise privacy while embracing the peaceful surroundings. Spacious interiors feature separate living areas, open fireplaces, private terraces and individual plunge pools, offering guests their own secluded sanctuary.

Local Central Coast artists and craftspeople have contributed to the interiors, adding authentic regional character throughout the accommodation.

For those wishing to relax outdoors, a stunning infinity swimming pool and stylish pool bar overlook the surrounding bushland, creating the perfect setting to unwind while listening to native birds rather than city traffic.

Exceptional Dining Celebrating Australian Produce

Food has always been at the heart of the Saddles experience, and The Grand Saddles Lodge continues this tradition with an elegant restaurant showcasing the finest Australian ingredients.

Seasonal menus highlight fresh seafood sourced from nearby waterways alongside premium organic beef, poultry and locally grown produce harvested from the property's own herb and vegetable gardens.

Carefully selected Australian and international wines complement every dish, creating a dining experience worthy of one of New South Wales' newest luxury destinations.

Evenings at Ned's Piano Bar

As the sun sets, guests can continue their evening at Ned's, an intimate Art Deco-inspired piano bar offering timeless sophistication with a relaxed Central Coast atmosphere.

Centred around a grand piano, the venue combines expertly crafted cocktails, live jazz performances and refined bar dining. Whether enjoying a perfectly prepared martini, sharing gourmet small plates or simply listening to live music, Ned's offers a memorable way to finish the day.

Wellness Surrounded by Bushland

The Spa at The Grand Saddles Lodge has been created as a sanctuary for relaxation and renewal.

Guests can enjoy luxurious treatments using Australian native botanicals, alongside traditional and infrared saunas, invigorating ice baths and five tranquil treatment rooms designed to restore both body and mind.

The peaceful bush setting naturally enhances the wellness experience, allowing visitors to fully disconnect from everyday life.

Beyond the lodge, visitors have countless opportunities to discover one of New South Wales' most picturesque regions.

Walking trails wind through native forests, while nearby oyster farms offer fresh local produce and unique culinary experiences. The magnificent Hawkesbury River provides opportunities for boating, sightseeing and photography, while the wider Central Coast offers charming villages, beaches and natural attractions waiting to be explored.

The dedicated team at The Grand Saddles Lodge can tailor personalised itineraries, ensuring every stay reflects each guest's interests.

Building on the Success of Saddles Mount White

The Grand Saddles Lodge joins the growing Saddles Mount White precinct, complementing the highly acclaimed Saddles restaurant and The Homestead, recognised by Condé Nast Traveller as one of the World's Most Beautiful Restaurants.

Together with The Barn and The Caravan, the precinct now offers an impressive collection of accommodation, dining and event spaces, making Mount White one of New South Wales' premier countryside destinations.
