The girls got up and went to the Blue Mountains, close by to Sydney for a getaway.

Our butler Andrew greets us at Lavender Majestic, a beautiful sandstone cottage in Katoomba where all sorts of pampering is set to take place.
Cottage is a bit of a misnomer for this 1890’s home, built for Mark Foy, the department store entrepreneur and creator of the famous Hydro Majestic Hotel.

Current owner Nicky Vaux extended the house, adding a new wing with extra bedrooms (one huge enough to have four single beds and comfy lounge chairs), and created an outdoor deck and barbecue area, where a hot tub built for at least six takes pride of place. It is the perfect venue for a girls’ getaway, be it a weekend or a week-long escape. While Andrew rustles up gourmet breakfasts, guests can add extra pampering treats such as a class at the Blue Mountains Cooking School or in-cottage catering.

After a deep tissue massage and plenty of lingering in the light-filled conservatory, we visit Dryridge Estate, the only cellar door in the mountains. Then it’s off to Blackheath to pick up our meal of slow-cooked lamb from popular restaurant Vesta, before heading home for a soak in the hot tub complete with a glass of bubbles.
Ahh, bliss.
