Allview is family owned and run. Malina started in hospitality at twelve, making tea and coffee in her mother’s hair salon, and has since spent more than 35 years in customer service and over 23 years in hospitality. Her belief is simple: people remember how you make them feel.
You will find Malina and Adrian on the property, helping with the planning and quietly making sure the day runs the way you pictured it.

“My journey to Allview Escape began long before I purchased the property in 2003. Although I was born in Western Sydney, I grew up between our family farm at Cecil Park and a 40-acre property near Lithgow, where weekends were spent exploring the bush. It was there that I fell in love with the Blue Mountains and knew, one day, this was where I wanted to build my future.
Perhaps that love of hospitality also comes from my Italian heritage. My mother was born in the Dolomites of Northern Italy, where welcoming people into your home, sharing good food and making guests feel like family is simply part of everyday life.
My first experience in hospitality came when I was only twelve. My mother owned a hair salon, and one of my jobs was making tea and coffee for her clients. It taught me something I’ve never forgotten: people remember how you make them feel.
When I purchased Allview Escape, I wanted to create more than just a beautiful venue. I wanted a place where people felt genuinely welcomed and every celebration became a lifelong memory. Since then we’ve been honoured to host hundreds of weddings, family reunions and celebrations, and, I’m sure, more marriage proposals than I’ll ever know about.
Even today, you’ll often find me making coffees for our guests on our Italian coffee machine, because it’s often the smallest gestures that leave the biggest impression.”
Welcome to Allview Escape. I can’t wait to share it with you.
