Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Our 10th Visit - That Says It All
Our recent visit to Leura Rose was our 10th to one of the Mountain Whispers Properties, we keep coming back for a reason. We know what to expect but Lorraine never fails to wow us. The warmth once through the door from the gas log fire, music softly playing throughout the house. Which one of the stunning bedrooms to stay in. Wandering around the township with so many shops, cafe's and restaurants. Venture further for a multitude of stunning walks and sights to see. We love returning to the home, sitting on the verandah, listen to the birds surrounded by beautiful gardens or relaxing in the huge spa, and retiring for a great sleep in the big comfy beds. Lorraine thinks of everything. Hearty breakfast provisions, wine with dinner, port for after. I marvel at all she has done every time. Already planning our next visit, thank you thank you Lorraine.

Beautiful stay in the Blue Mountains
From the moment we walked in the door, we knew this would be a delightful stay. So many nice touches from the Natalie Cole music playing over the built in speaker system to wine & port in the living room and breakfast supplies waiting for us in the exceptionally well appointed kitchen. We loved the gas fireplaces and the spa bathtubs with all the amenities one could need. Leura is a very charming little village with cute cafes and shops all within a few minutes drive of the cottage. It's an easy launch point for exploring Katoomba and all the walks and nature sites. Highly recommend and look forward to a return visit!

Lovingly restored home with amazing touches
We had 2 nights at Leura Mountain Rose, with 5 adults. It’s a lovingly restored Victorian with lots of small thoughtful touches that made it a really delightful stay - so many little nooks and crannies to discover and enjoy. Lorraine also provided many personalized touches for each guest that made it really welcoming. Everything was delightful and we loved our stay. Highly recommend!

Idyllic Mountain Retreat
We loved our stay at the beautiful Leura Rose cottage. The house itself is gorgeous, cosy, warm and welcoming. The kitchen is well stocked and very generous with special birthday treats for us to enjoy. The spa bathroom looking out into the garden was delightful. Lorraine is a wonderful host who kindly ensured our stay was perfect. Our new home away from home!!

About the neighbourhood
Welcome to the UNESCO World Heritage Blue Mountains located in New South Wales, Australia. Prepare to escape and leave your cares behind, as you're enveloped in an environment which is five times older than the Grand Canyon.
The Blue Mountains offers everything for you to do as little or as much as you please, from canyoning, abseiling, bush-walking, hiking, cycling, rock climbing to taking in the magnificent flora, fauna, sunsets and sunrises aplenty.
At Mountain Whispers we pride ourselves in offering a luxury experience with optional inclusions from in-house chefs, waiters, massage therapists to private vintage historical Cadillac tours complete with costumes. Mountain Whispers is where memories are created.
Getting around
Best way to see all the local attractions and to get around for the duration of your stay is the Blue Mountains Explorer Bus (a red London double decker bus) which allows you to hop-on and hop-off for the duration of your stay. Get a real bird's eye view of the Blue Mountains whilst sitting on the second level - a beautiful experience complete with commentary.
There are 31 stops around the villages of Leura and Katoomba so you can pick up the bus at every major location.
Access
Car not needed
How to get there
BY CAR - travel by car is the most popular means of transport to the Blue Mountains. The entrance to the Blue Mountains at Glenbrook/Lapstone is only around 50 minutes drive from Sydney.
FROM THE CITY - Follow the signs to Parramatta. The M4 Motorway starts at Strathfield and takes you through to Lapstone in the Blue Mountains.
FROM RICHMOND - An alternative route to the Blue Mountains is via Bell’s Line of Road which starts at Richmond and takes you through to Mount Tomah and Bell, and across to Mount Victoria. This drive is extremely pleasant through the vast Blue Mountains National Park, a contrast to the main thoroughfare of the Great Western Highway.
FROM OUTER WEST - If you are travelling from the outer west, follow the signs to Lithgow, then through to Hartley where you will enter the Blue Mountains via Victoria Pass taking you straight to the top at Mount Victoria.
DISTANCE FROM SYDNEY to Leura is 119km’s and 122km's to Katoomba.
BY TRAIN – It is a 2 hour train ride, sit back, relax and take in the sites. Train services run almost hourly from Central Station to Wentworth Falls, Leura., Katoomba, Medlow Bath, Blackheath, Mount Victoria, Bell, Zig Zag and Lithgow. ExplorerLink tickets available combining return CityRail travel and the 'get on, get off' Explorer Bus. Visit the City Rail info for timetables http://www.cityrail.info/
BY COACH - Relax and take a coach tour to/from the Blue Mountains. There are a number of tour company companies located within the Blue Mountains and Sydney region.
