Our
beautiful oak-panelled lounge room with unusual beamed
ceiling, conjures up another era, when life was a bit slower
and there was time to sit by the fire reading a good book or
just conversing with family and friends over tea/coffee and
home-baked treats. Lift up the lounge room windows in Springtime
and you’ll smell the lilac and magnolia blossoms of the
Blue Mountains .
Beyond
that, the garden courtyard (with lazy steamer chairs) and then winding
steps leading you down, down into our beautiful garden with secret
corners to explore. During your Katoomba accommodation stay perhaps
you’ll find a spot for quiet contemplation, or be tempted to
wander down further, further, onto Prince Henry Cliff Walk for invigorating
bushwalks and breathtaking Blue Mountains views from the many
lookouts.
Alternatively,
you may choose to wander over to the escarpment verandah, for a
spot of Tai Chi / Yoga, sunset picnic or exquisite catered meal
during your stay. This verandah is also ideal for small group
celebrations such as re-affirming wedding vows, baby namings,
birthdays and other intimate Blue Mountains gatherings.

Leura Blue Mountains features by clicking below to see our Online

The eco-elegance of historic Cloudlands is good for the environment, too!
Our
bedrooms with luxurious, environmentally-superior alpaca
wool quilts are bathed in soft, sleep-inducing colours and are themed
on Australian wildflowers. Quality linen and electric blankets are
on all beds.
The
fully-equipped kitchen enables you to cook as much or as
little as you like. Don’t forget you can walk to quality Blue
Mountains restaurants such as Solitary, The Rooster French Restaurant
and the Swiss Cottage just nearby. We also supply a variety of teas,
coffees (including ground coffee for perfect plunger coffee), herbal
teas, and a generous breakfast basket that looks like a bountiful
harvest! Naturally, the bread supplied only comes from quality local
small bakers – Stockmarket Cafe Leura or
Bake House on Wentworth (Leura) or
Hominy (Katoomba) and
the eggs are free-range.
The
verandah is an ideal place for your Cloudlands "Lingering
Breakfasts" featuring gourmet local products with parrots
and rosellas in the apples trees for company.
We
want you to feel “discreetly pampered” during your
Leura accommodation stay at Cloudlands in the Blue Mountains and
know you’ll enjoy soaking in the claw foot bath (complete with
bookrack for serious bookworms!). A variety of natural toiletries
will be provided for your enjoyment, including aromatherapy bath
salts, bubble bath, bath oils - and more. If you feel like some
extra spoiling, let us arrange a massage, facial or special package
at a nearby health resort, or why not just use the resort's Health
Club facilities - men's and women's saunas and spas, indoor heated
pool. In-house massages and facials also available.
You'll
love your stay at Cloudlands – The TOTAL Blue Mountains
experience for all seasons and reasons.
