Into the deep of the Blue Mountains and off the beaten track, we traversed the windy roads of Turon Gates. As the sun went down, painting a warm hue over the rolling hills, we reached our private sanctuary Birdsong - save for the kangaroos and mountain goats who greeted us!
The fairy lights illuminated the tent with a quiet welcome as we settled in, enjoying our complimentary Turnon Gates wine whilst cooking dinner on the BBQ.
We woke to the sound of kookaburras and shared a coffee on the balcony, although it wasn’t long before the sun was high enough for Lucy (our 3 yr old Border Collie) to plead for a swim. We floated in the water for a few hours before a glorious hike on sunset lookout. Detached from the socials and surrounded by nature at its most peaceful, Birdsong really is a quintessential weekend nature retreat.
