Lovely location!

Easily walkable to town and the Leura train station, and felt cozy and secluded at the same time. The spacious kitchen and fireplace were highlights! Thank you for making our stay incredible!

A quick trip away

Loved the property, it was a great location and stunning house. Was perfect for our needs. Only issues we had was the bed is very soft (which is an us issue not the venue), and as there is another place above us, we were woken up early both mornings with the noise of people moving around upstairs. We had hoped for sleep in, but if you're an early riser it wouldn't be an issue. Otherwise, loved the place!

Beautiful building, Lovely grounds. Hair in the bathroom was kinda gross. Was reasonably priced for how private and lovely the property is, but expected it to be clean and for the most part it was. Just not in the bathrooms which i feel is important

Absolute Bliss

Clean, warm and comfortable (besides the bed. it was way too soft and not as comfy for our liking ) besides that our stay was bliss! Very relaxing and everything was thought through well providing everything you need and more. Thank you Maurice, your level of communication was very impressive which made it easy for us and offered peace of mind.. I would highly recommend this property and will be happy to return again.

great place

I feel that this property was lovely, great location, views , everything... I feel though a little more thought could be given to little things could be improve the stay to make the stay perfect... ie. Bubble bath provided, paper towel, more everyday glasses- (there were lots of wine glasses) softer towels & providing more milk .. overall a lovely place ..

Comfortable stay

Our family enjoyed a lovely stay at The Convent. The house was very comfortable- with a large, well equiped kitchen and very comfortable beds. We especially enjoyed the outdoor patio area and surrounding gardens and lawn. It was great to have some space to wander outdoors and watch the bird life around the grounds.
