Lilianfels Blue Mountains

Harper travel consultant Anne recently made a trip to Australia, staying at The Observatory in Sydney, Lilianfels Blue Mountains (two hours outside Sydney) and the Park Hyatt Melbourne. Anne loved “inspiring, high-energy, easy-to-get-around” Sydney, as well as garden-studded Melbourne. Lilianfels made for an ideal contrast, with a “traditional English” atmosphere and a gorgeous setting “ideal for hiking.” The trip also included a return to New Zealand, a favorite destination of Anne’s. This time, she lodged at Timara Lodge, an idyllic four-suite manor surrounded by the gardens and vineyards of Marlborough. “You have to go,” Anne exclaimed.
