A fresh eucalyptus scent wafts through the deep valleys of the Blue Mountains, where magnificent sandstone cliffs catch the sunlight before receding into lush temperate rainforest. Step back in time to the 1920’s in the charming village of Katoomba, where art deco buildings, tearooms and antique shops loom up out of the mist; or go back many thousands of years with towering ancient rock formations like the Three Sisters.

The Properties

Mountain Whispers is a collection of four beautifully-restored historic homes in some of the Blue Mountains’ most charming locales. Groupies can choose luxurious digs like Varenna, a classic Edwardian home surrounded by manicured gardens; the Leura Rose, a secluded weatherboard home with leafy gardens and lovely views; or the Strawberry Patch, a romantic and gracious 100-year old cottage. Peeps who would prefer to stay in Katoomba will love The Gatsby, a luxury Art Deco estate where guests step back in time to the 1930’s. Each property is fully self-contained and beautifully decorated, with fluffy bathrobes, slippers, two bottles of wine, port and fine hand-crafted chocolates to greet guests on arrival. The fridge is fully stocked with breakfast goodies, and true foodies indulge with a $50 voucher to spend on a sumptuous dinner cooked onsite by a private chef.

 

Groupon Recommends

There is lots to do in the Blue Mountains at any time of year. Head down to the spectacular Three Sisters lookout at Echo Point and take a hike down into the lush valley below, or around the cliff top for magnificent views. See the mountains from a different perspective with a trip down Australia’s steepest train track, the Scenic Railway; or soar across the valleys on the Scenic Cableway, an exhilarating aerial cable car. Central Katoomba offers excellent cafes, bookstores and antique shops such as Mr Pickwicks, and there are plenty of adventurous activities available nearby including horse riding, canyoning and golf.

 

Local Amenities

The Leura Rose, Strawberry Patch and Varenna are all located in Leura, while the Gatsby is in nearby Katoomba. There are plenty of boutique shops, cafes, restaurants and grocery stores in both villages, and all four properties are within a two-hour drive of Sydney.

 

Reviews

Mountain Whispers have won rave reviews for each of the four properties featured in this deal, with particular mention given to the outstanding service and small details that make each stay so special.

Strawberry Patch cottage was very easy to find. Great directions provided and it was nice to arrive to a warm, cosy cottage with a bottle of red and chocolates on the pillows to welcome us! The facilities were outstanding and extremely clean and inviting.

We stayed at the Leura Rose recently and had a wonderfully relaxing time. The cottage is beautiful and is equipped with every home comfort you could wish for. The little extra touches from Lorraine - breakfast provisions, port, wine and chocolates - make your stay here even more special!

We stayed two nights at Varenna cottage for a girls weekend, and I could not think of a more perfect venue! It was absolute luxury, with so many little touches. We had an amazing time and would definitely return.

My husband & I have stayed at 3 of Lorraine's cottages & each is as great as the last! We would highly recommend them all & we loved the decor of The Gatsby. My hubby loves art deco so he particularly loved it.
