We enjoyed our stay, it was great to get out of Sydney and relax by the log fire in the evening and take in the fresh air of the blue mountains. Staff were happy and helpful, rooms were warm, good variety of foods for breakfast, close to shops and restaurants.

A great place for a girls weekend get away. Such a gorgeous house where you can feel the history of its predecessors and enjoy the serenity because it is close enought to dine out and enjoy the mountains natural wonders and shop for antiques and have coffees in quaint places but also have the quiet evenings to chat. A very friendly and accomodating host with a good healthy breakfast to start your day.

A beautiful location to relax and unwind. All the rooms have been thoughtfully decorated and styled - particularly the lounge room where you could enjoy a welcome tea/coffee and treat or relax by the light fire later in the day The continental breakfast was delicious. Very friendly and accommodating staff too which is always a pleasure.

This is a great little oasis in Leura, within walking distance from the town but away from the bustle. We had a beautiful Victorian style but light and airy room. The breakfast in the morning was great with home made granola and fruit bread. A lovely, calm place to stay!

Property is wonderful, true B&B style. Was greeted on arrival with a friendly, welcoming host who took his time to explain all and show his guests around. The host provided ideas on the local are and the rest of the staff were fantastic and helpful. Breakfast was a great spread of savouries, no basic cereals which is a true winner for breakfast’s. Will certainly recommend and visit again.
