Explore Deeper: A Guide to the Mountains with Lost Mtns + Café Leura
The Blue Mountains have always been a place of wonder. Mist-draped cliffs. Cool, deep gorges. Ancient trails whispered with stories. And yet, even for locals and regulars, there’s always something more to uncover — some hidden pool, stargazing spot, or track you've never taken.
That’s why we’re proud to collaborate with Lost Mtns, the creators of some of the most beautifully designed, useful, and soulful guidebooks we’ve ever come across.
Together, we invite you to experience Leura not just as a destination — but as a doorway to deeper connection, thoughtful adventure, and the kind of days you’ll want to remember.

At Café Leura, we believe in starting slow.

A flick through WILD with the mountains still on your skin
This café isn’t just a stop — it’s part of your story here.
💛 Connection Is the Real Journey
Our partnership with Lost Mtns is built on shared values — At Café Leura, Filoxenia is at the heart of everything we do — a deep-rooted Greek tradition of welcoming others as family, offering warmth, generosity, and a seat at the table.
It’s how we honour this beautiful place we call home — with open hearts, quiet respect for Country, and a reverence for slow, meaningful moments.
So, come in. Let us welcome you.
Ask us where to wander. Flip through a book. Take the long way. Swim the cold river. Watch the stars come out.
This is your time to feel, to explore, to reconnect.
And we are truly honoured to walk a little of that journey with you.
