High Tea with a view.<\/p><\/div>\n
Walk through Everglades Gardens<\/h2>\n
Pack a picnic lunch and set your sights on a romantic walk through the Everglades Gardens<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tucked into the iconic village of Leura, this Art Deco expanse was designed and built in the 1930s by Danish-born landscaper Paul Sorensen. Now owned by the National Trust, the 5.2 acre property is a playground of lush green slopes, tranquil pools, fragrant flowerbeds and winding pathways. For your summer trip exploring the San Juan Mountains, treat yourself to one of the best Hotels in Ouray CO<\/a> to make your trip all the more memorable.<\/p>\n Once you\u2019ve worked up an appetite, find a hill on the edge of the Jamison Valley escarpment to perch on. Or, if you\u2019d prefer, take a seat at the on-site tearooms \u2013 with interiors that would leave Jane Austen envious.<\/p>\n Set your sights on a romantic walk through the Everglades Gardens.<\/p><\/div>\n Could we really write a list of loved-up musings and not make mention of one of the most romantic places on Earth?<\/p>\n\n Touted as one of the country\u2019s most luxurious stays, Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley<\/a> is set among more than 2800 private hectares of rugged and peaceful bushland cut through by the Wolgan River.<\/p>\n\n The well-appointed freestanding villas all feature a fireplace, veranda and private pool (naturally). Not to mention the pampering treatments at the One&Only Spa<\/a>, wildlife safaris, nature walks and heritage tours.<\/p>\n\n If you weren\u2019t in love when you arrived, this accommodation will have you declaring your affection for each other in no time.<\/p>\n Little needs to be said about the beauty of Wolgan Valley.<\/p><\/div>\n Ditch the blockbuster cinema experience for a more boutique, cosy one at Mount Victoria Cinema<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n Built in 1934, this treasured icon is a window into the golden age of Australian country picture theatre culture. They have an eclectic array of quality films on the roster \u2013 from Australia and abroad including arthouse and children\u2019s films, new releases and classics.<\/p>\n\n The venue and parking facilities are wheelchair accessible. The snack bar serves up an array of homemade choc tops, hot soup and more.<\/p>\n The golden age of cinema awaits.<\/p><\/div>\n Bilpin \u2013 known as the Land of the Mountain Apple \u2013 houses a plentiful supply of quality fresh cider, all of which can be perused at your leisure.<\/p>\n\n Surrounded by World Heritage listed mountains, majestic rivers and six national parks, the fertile soil, mountain elevation and mild climate have all contributed to Bilpin\u2019s reputation as one of Australia\u2019s premium orchard growing regions.<\/p>\n\n Nowhere is that more prevalent than the orchards of the Bilpin Cider Co<\/a>. Founded by Sean Prendergast in 2011, a trip here is a lesson in both the iconic drink, and the region\u2019s bountiful history.<\/p>\n\n Stop at the cellar door to taste some of their varieties (including non-alcoholic!) and also take the time to roam the orchard \u2013 its home to some friendly sheep and alpaca.<\/p>\n From Leura, to Katoomba and Blackheath, there are an array of hotspots all over the Blue Mountains to satiate your shopping fix.<\/p>\n\n The Cat\u2019s Meow features semi-abstract artworks, craftworks, furniture and trinkets. There\u2019s the Leura Toy Shop (a major hit with kids) and a famously antiquated Candy Store<\/a> in which rows of tantalisingly transparent jars loaded with traditional candies, liquorice and chocolates generate a constant flow of giddy clientele.<\/p>\n\n Leuralla<\/a>, a bright, white 19th-century mansion ringed by gardens and overlooking the Jamison Valley, is jam-packed with fabulous toys from the last century.<\/p>\n\n If you love the thrill of a vintage find, drop by the Victory Theatre Antique Centre & Caf\u00e9<\/a> and pick up a treasure. Or perhaps rare books are more your thing? Find one at Mr Pickwick\u2019s<\/a> in Katoomba. Discover homewares at Maison Montage<\/a> and fashion and footwear at Trumps (Spanish shoes? Yes please!).<\/p>\n\n For the ultimate shopping experience, head to Lyttleton Stores<\/a> at Lawson. This historic collection of buildings, established in 1884, has morphed into a sustainable living nook, with organic produce grown on site as well as a range of locally sourced items, including art and pottery. They also run workshops for sustainable living, including indigo dyeing and cheese making workshops.<\/p>\n![\"Everglades](\"https:\/\/s1.at.atcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2Set-your-sights-on-a-romantic-walk-through-the-Everglades-Gardens.jpg\")
