We were visiting from the USA and had rented a car to travel from Sydney and then went to Blue Mountains afterward. The kids thoroughly loved the pool area and could have stayed there all day. We all loved to see a kangaroo on the property in the evening. The room was great and I enjoyed the gym. The breakfast buffet was a little expensive but great quality. I'd highly recommend this to families and others.

Dirty blinds, a full length mirror would have been great, more suitable towel hanging option in bathroom. Full length window in bathroom lacked privacy. Pineapple juice at breakfast would be a great option.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Rydges. The computer check in worked really well (in fact it gave us an upgrade LOL!). The property was super clean. The breakfast was amazing. We saw kangaroos one morning when we opened the door to our villa. The staff were lovely and friendly. The shop had everything imaginable in it and even a small art gallery. We didn't travel with children but noticed there was lots of facilities to keep the little ones amused. Highly recommend this resort.
