Have you ever heard that old saying... "A house is made of brick and stone, but only love can make a home" this could be said about the Magical Manderley... Robyn is the heart of this beautiful home and welcomes you with love. The Manderley is your own private luxury, a home away from home.
Once again we had the pleasure to stay with Robyn, in her beautiful Manderley where magic really does happen. 2 Years ago now we stayed here for our honeymoon and returned this November for our anniversary.
This time we chose to stay in the Treetops, with its beautiful open plan, generous sitting area and kitchen, full size bed room and beautiful bathroom with a wonderful romantic spa for two. I even managed to make use of the kitchen cooking up a couple of my own meals in here during our stay, candle light and very cosy.
The Manderley is situated in the heart of Leura, just a short walk to the Leura mall which is so much fun to explore with its many shops, there is a market held on the corner over weekends, Woolworths is just a walk away for any supplies you might want to pick up, perhaps for a home cooked meal if you don't want to dine at one of the many restaurants or cafes, everything is well within reach while staying at the Manderley
There is nothing to fault here and I can imagine we will again return time and time again to the Magical Manderley. From the generous breakfast supplies to fluffy towels and beautiful spa supplies everything is luxury. Robyn even sneaks in to do a little housekeeping, keeping those towels and sheets clean and fresh while you're away. Both rooms are very private and off street parking is supplied.
Don't just take my word for it, book in and experience some magic of your own! Go on, it's the perfect place for a romantic getaway long or short, it is an experience you won't forget.

Approximate cost: $From $190/night

If it were possible to give 6 stars this would be the place to get it! When I realised there was no review for the Magical Manderley I thought maybe I should keep this my little secret, but it's too good not to share!! Everything about the Magical Manderley is of the very highest quality right down to the fine details.

We had the immense pleasure to wrap up our honeymoon staying 3 pleasurable nights at the jewel in Leura's crown... The Magical Manderley. The only regret was we couldn't stay longer.

If your looking for a couples only retreat for a weekend or perhaps longer you can't go past this romantic luxurious hideaway. Situated just a few minutes walk from Leura mall and 5 minutes drive from Katoomba you will be surprised at how peaceful and private the location. There are two luxury self contained apartments available, The Tree Tops Apartment and The Terrace.

On your arrival you will be greeted by Robyn the wonderful, friendly owner. She will show you in and tell you everything you'll need to know for your stay and than leave you in private. Robyn as over 30 years experience so you know you are in good hands!

Robyn was like a fairy, she would slip in while we were away at dinner and freshened and service our room even doing the washing up.

The Terrace (where we stayed) comes with generous complimentary breakfast provisions, aperitifs and Lindt chocolates on arrival. We even had little bottles of bubbly for our celebration. Also well stocked are the Santa Vittoria Mineral water and beautiful juices.

The terrace also comes with a generous sized spa for two, with imported Molton Brown English Toiletries. (The rose hand wash smells beautiful) Everything you could possibly want for a romantic stay. I just adored the beautiful large sized and fluffy towels!!

A generous size and very comfortable bed, TV, DVD, Stereo with inclusion of DVD's and music cds and books all for guests enjoyment. The beautiful garden offers a lovely sitting area.

Robyn's genuine hospitality and special thoughtful touches made our stay not only memorable but beautifully romantic. I hope we can get back for our anniversary next year!
