OLD LEURA DAIRY, BLUE MOUNTAINS

UNIQUE, FOUR STAR BOUTIQUE RESORT

Just 100 km west of Sydney lie the Blue Mountains, a staggeringly beautiful landscape even by Australian standards. And complementing the countryside is an unusual, historic hotel.

Are the Blue Mountains actually coloured blue? It’s a good question, to which the answer is definitely maybe. They certainly appear blue, thanks to the natural eucalyptus oil produced by the area’s dense gum trees. The oil hangs in the air giving the mountains a blue effect. Put the area on the itinerary of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Australia – it’s only 100 kilometres from Sydney – and you’ll discover soaring cliffs and blue-tinged ridges broken by crashing waterfalls, plus ravines cloaked in the famous gum trees.

Not to mention the Old Dairy. As its name suggests, this wonderfully idiosyncratic hotel has been recreated from a dairy and today offers visitors a choice of accommodation from a two-sleeper studio to Straw Bale House, sleeping up to 11 adults.

“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”

Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”

I’ve been on several small group holidays with 91�� and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.

“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”

From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
