Rosa Mystica

A classic mountain retreat, Rosa Mystica is a five bedroom rendered bungalow with verandas on two sides and a pretty garden. It was built during the 1920s, as a holiday home for a wealthy Sydney family. Just a short stroll to village of Leura, with its Mall, antique and gift shops, boutiques and fine restaurants and a stone's throw from bustling Katoomba.Rosa Mystica is perfect for a group of friends or a family looking for luxurious accommodation with warmth and charm.The five bedrooms contain two king-size beds (which separate to become singles), a queen-size bed, double bed and two single beds.  Period details such as a 1920s-style chaise lounge, antique French polished wardrobe and dressing table and slow-combustion fire, adds charm to the main bedroom.  Other bedrooms feature period lamps and plush fabrics and one has an en suite.  Another bathroom has a claw-foot bath and separate shower.Deep reds and gold feature in the formal parlour, with its chandelier, open gas fire, comfortable lounge furniture and TV/DVD/CD facilities.  Guests will find everything they need in the well-equipped kitchen.  The dining room can easily accommodate 12 and has a slow combustion fire.During spring and summer guests sit under the cherry blossoms with a coffee and the weekend papers, or fire up the barbeque for a long, lazy lunch.Rosa Mystica is less than two hours drive from Sydney and has off-street parking for six cars.  Several bushwalks start just a short stroll from the cottage.
