Strawberry Hill – Room Style

Rooms at Strawberry Hill are part of the property’s intimate Blue Mountains identity, with individually decorated Georgian-style cottages, studios, and villas set across a gardened mountaintop estate.

• Individually styled cottages, studios, and villas
• Great for couples, solo travelers, and families who want a quiet mountain base
• Continental breakfast and WiFi are included, though connectivity can be inconsistent in mountain areas

Strawberry Hill is the better pick if you want a characterful resort stay with space, views, gardens, and on-site service rather than a purely self-contained villa setup.

Strawberry Hill – Pool & Mountain Scene

Strawberry Hill’s setting is one of its biggest strengths, with a signature infinity-edge pool overlooking Kingston and the Blue Mountains, plus a cooler, quieter mountaintop atmosphere.

• Infinity-edge pool with expansive mountain and city views
• Cooler Blue Mountains setting above Kingston
• Best for travelers who want scenery, quiet, and a restorative resort feel

Taylormade Golf Retreat III – Retreat Scene

• Golf-focused retreat atmosphere
• More private and residential in feel
• Better for travelers who want their days shaped around golf, group time, and independence

If the pool, mountain views, spa access, and resort setting matter most, Strawberry Hill is the more complete choice.

Strawberry Hill – Family Considerations

Strawberry Hill welcomes children, but it is a quiet hillside resort rather than a kids-club style property, and some sources caution that steps, steep drops, and an unfenced pool make it less ideal for very young children.

• Children are welcome at the property
• No dedicated children’s facilities were found in available sources
• Better for older children, careful supervision, and families who want a calm mountain setting

Taylormade Golf Retreat III – Family & Group Fit

Taylormade Golf Retreat III may suit families or groups who prefer a private villa base, especially when shared space and a golf-focused itinerary are the priority.

• Villa-style privacy for families or small groups
• Better for travelers who want independence rather than resort programming
• Strongest for groups who plan to spend much of the trip together

If you want a full resort atmosphere with dining, spa, and a scenic pool, choose Strawberry Hill; if your group wants privacy and flexibility, Taylormade Golf Retreat III may fit better.
