The Pines is close to the spectacular Wentworth Falls and wonderful views of the Jamison Valley and escarpments. Extensive, well-maintained bushwalks of various degrees of difficulty and lengths follow the escarpments around the Falls and a section of the Darwin Walk begins just along Falls Road. You do not have to travel far to enjoy the delights of many mountain gardens which are often open to the public for a small fee. From Glenbrook to Mount Victoria, gardening is a popular pursuit and autumn and spring are the best times to visit the cool climate masterpieces of private homes and local government.

It is a few minutes drive to the boutiques of Leura Mall and the sensational Three Sisters, Skyway and Scenic Railway at Katoomba. The Conservation Hut is just around the corner. The Wentworth Falls Lake is well worth a visit to feed the ducks or enjoy a picnic.

If you want to take a scenic day trip, then Jenolan Caves, Mt Wilson, Mt Tomah Botanic Gardens and the Zig Zag Railway are within a comfortable hour's drive away. There are many scenic drives that can be taken around the escarpments as well with not to be missed Valley of Waters, Weeping Rock, Lilian's Bridge and Water Nymph's Dell with it's Fire Flies and Glow Worms. Visit or play a few rounds at the Golf links at Lawson, Wentworth Falls and Leura.

Historic buildings, museums, a Conservatorium, School of Arts, Galleries and friendly Churches add to the appeal of this lovely village. Brochures and information on all main attractions, activities and restaurants are available in the compendium in the house. Come and enjoy.
