The Silver Pines is set in a tranquil garden on the edge of the Blue Mountains
National Park, complete with a variety of mountain birds. Enjoy the expansive
views of the Three Sisters and the escarpments beyond. Located
in Leura at the end of a quiet road, Silver Pines is a comfortable cottage with
luxurious appointments and a spectacular view - everything you need for a relaxing
escape from your busy world.
We
have many species of birds living in the garden and adjacent National Park. Some
are bold, some are shy, but if you are quiet and still, they are a constant source
of delight.
Visit
the Skyway and Scenic Railway at Katoomba. Browse a wide variety of specialty
shops or rest in a cosy cafe. Stroll the gardens of the Everglades, visit the
Cascade Falls, visit the Toy & Railway Museum, pack a picnic lunch, grab a bottle
of wine and escape into the wilderness of the Cox's River.

regions of the world can boast 46 beautiful waterfalls such as Gordon Falls, Leura
Falls, Leura Cascades, Bridal Veil Falls, Linda Falls & Lila Falls at Prince Henry
Cliff Walk. Access from Olympian Pde and Cliff Drive. A short drive will take
you to Wentworth Falls, Queen’s Cascade, Empress Falls, Sylvia Falls, Flat Rock
Falls, Brittania Falls, Red Rock Falls & Vera Falls at Wentworth Falls Reserve

Gardens and the Zig Zag Railway are within a comfortable hour's drive away. There
are many scenic drives that can be taken around the escarpments as well with not
to be missed Valley of Waters, Weeping Rock, Lilian's Bridge and Water Nymph's
