The cottage is located in the heart of historic Leura. Just a few minutes' drive to Leura Village with its National Trust listed streetscape lined with cherry blossom trees, fine dining restaurants, cafes, gourmet deli's, and fashion and home ware boutiques.

The cottage is set in half an acre of beautiful gardens designed by world famous landscape gardener 'Sorensen", renowned for some of the finest gardens in Leura.

There is a spacious front deck for outdoor living with views over the stunning garden, as well as an extensive rear garden for entertainment and relaxation.

The Cottage

A spacious living room, furnished with plush classic couches, cushions and coffee table flows into a dining room with a long country style dining table and sideboard. The brand-new kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed to cook sumptuous lunches and dinners, including many extras such as an Aldi pod coffee machine.

Each of the two queen bedrooms are beautifully decorated, with crisp hotel linen and duvets. The third spacious bedroom contains four bunk beds and sitting area.

The central bathroom has been fully renovated with both a bath tub and shower, fluffy hotel quality white towels and amenities pack. A separate guest toilet is adjacent to the bathroom.
Gas heating throughout ensures the cottage is always warm and inviting in winter, with window screens and fans for the warmer months.

The cottage offers FREE Wi-Fi for all guests, along with a large FHD TV in the living room, as well as an extra TV/DVD combo in the master bedroom. All commercial TV channels are available, plus a broad selection of DVD movies in the living room along with Chromecast so that you can cast and view your own Netflix / Stan and YouTube channels.

Great Family Accommodation
Was a home away from home! Exactly as described with an excellent kids room (two sets of bunks) and space within the room for them to play/be noisy etc. Very well equipped kitchen with sharp knives and everything that you could possibly need - very refreshing! Easy access in a quite location. Wish we had longer to stay/explore!

Leura sojourn
A home away from home- we loved our stay. Welcome package was great. We enjoyed the house and garden and were blessed with mostly fine weather. We had family picnics in the gardens enough room to play games. Dozens of birds visited us. The township is great- especially the Nook and the woodworkers shop. Parking is now exorbitant- $3 for 15 minutes!! The locals helped us find free parking for hiking. Autumn’s colours were stunning. Thank you Susan. Ursula and Eddy.

Make sure you read the fine print as you’re not renting the whole house for the advertised price. Extra adults are charged rather excessively. We also had terrible communication on check in and almost couldn’t get into the house. Other than that the house was clean and did the job.

Nice cottage, lovely Leura
We had a really 3D/2N stay at Leura meeting friends and did some leisure hikes due to the weather. Love the fresh air in Leura, somehow it's just so different. The cottage is very cozy, all rooms and living hall equipped with heaters keep us warm and chill. The location is very near to the town and everything else. The price is very reasonable compared to the others that we researched. Recommend this place!

Clean, cozy, comfortable, well equipped house
Everything advertised was present except minor hiccups of one heater not working, another power board shorting out, lack of hanging space if more than 2 people present, TV in the bedroom was not working and not connected, towels were very thin and old -
