Avalon Restaurant and Blue Mountains Gin Company have joined forces to create a cozy new gin bar and lounge... introducing The Gin Parlour.

Housed in the lobby of the historic Savoy Theatre, THE GIN PARLOUR showcases the range of locally produced spirits by Blue Mountains Gin Company, with a range of fancy G&Ts and gin-based cocktails to enjoy. To eat, there’s a menu of shared plates and desserts.

Embark on a sensory journey with a Gin Tasting Flight, and try four unique gins paired with tonic and garnishes to find your perfect combination. Or, delve a little deeper with distillery owners, Jann and Harry Dillon, at a 'Meet the Maker' session or Gin Masterclass experience.

Indulge in our Gin & Tea... It's High Tea with a twist! Enjoy a delicious three-tier afternoon tea, accompanied by glass tea pots filled with your favourite gin cocktail.

A unique Katoomba experience, THE GIN PARLOUR is the perfect place to catch up with friends, enjoy dinner and some live music, or treat yourself to a cheeky cocktail.

OPEN FRIDAYS FROM 5.30PM TIL LATE | SATURDAY FROM 2PM TIL LATE

What a massive difference! 🤯

From a rusty tin roof covered with fake tile, to Colorbond (matching the back extension). So glad to have finally ticked this much needed project off the list - What a difference it makes!

Love books?!📚🥰

The Blue Mountains are renowned for their awe-inspiring landscapes, but did you know there are an array of trails to be discovered? Today we shine a spotlight on the Mountains Bookshop Trail

From Glenbrook right through to Lithgow there are 12 bookshops on the trail, not to mention the amazing street library located outside of RoseyRavelston Books which is definitely worth a visit!

Pick up your FREE trail map from either the Glenbrook or Echo Point Visitor Information Centres.

When life has been so hectic you just realised you never got the chance to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas or Happy New Year! 🥴 These (looking a little worse for wear here sorry... Like me after a day of paving) 😅 remind me of fireworks, so thought it a fitting first post of the New Year! 😁🎆🎇 If my resolution was to post less flowers, I've already gone & broken it 🙈🥳🥂

One can never spend enough time in this ! I love all the birds & butterflies that constantly visit too 🐦🦋🥰

I got told I post too many pics of flowers 😅, which is true, but I simply can't help it... Blooms are too quick to come & go, (especially seasonal ones), but in taking & sharing pictures we immortalise their beauty! 😍💗

Sunday May 1 marks the day when we close our doors to the public for the last time.
We have been pleased to welcome so many visitors to this grand old house and beautiful gardens and to what is considered the finest collection of 20th Century toys anywhere in the world
Floods, Fires and Covid have made it impossible to continue
Leuralla becomes once again a private home
and we say goodbye and thanks for visiting.

How exciting!! 😁 "The Ice Rink is currently in construction and will operate throughout the year. It will be the only facility of its kind in the Blue Mountains and Greater Sydney area."

Inspired by the need for a real family resort in the Blue Mountains, the Fairmont Resort & Spa Ice Rink is scheduled to open during the NSW Winter School Holidays in July.

We are excited to bring you a 600 sqm arena with café and skate shop.

We will be open to all who would like to experience the magic of skating on ice.
See you out on the ice.

Well what a whirlwind it's been for so many! Following months of cancelled bookings, and trying to keep up with the constantly changing restrictions, Katura will be reopening its doors (for those permitted to travel under the restrictions of the time) from Friday 22nd October. Thank you so much for your support during this stressful time, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon! :)
