Directions to Lilyvale coming from Sydney
Make your way onto the Princes Highway as if going to Wollongong. Take the Waterfall turn off to the Royal National Park; follow the road to the left, over the railway line and into the park.
Continue along to the ranger’s station approx 1.6 kms. If required to stop explain you are visiting the house at Lot 1 Lady Wakehurst Drive and they will let you through. You will not have to pay entrance fee.
Follow the road down through the valley to the bridge over the Port Hacking River and to the “T” intersection. (Approx 3kms).
Turn right at the junction onto Lady Wakehurst Drive.
Follow the road along past the Red Cedar Flats picnic area for 5.8kms. When you approach a 45km bend sign, our driveway to Lilyvale is shortly after this on your right. If you miss it there is another entry about 50 metres further along. A sign with the number “ 1” will be by the entry to the driveway.
Alternate Route via Stanwell Park (might be easier and quicker)
Take the Stanwell Park and Helensburgh exit from the freeway onto Lawrance Hargrave Drive. Follow this along to Stanwell Tops and past Bald Head then into the Royal National Park. Follow the road through the park for approx 5 kms from the Otford lookout. The entrance to Lilyvale is located just on the left of three black and yellow arrow signs. A sign with the number “1” will be by the driveway. If you miss it there is another entry about 50 metres further along.
It's around an hour to 90 minutes drive south from Sydney.
