The Old Leura Dairy is perfectly situated a short distance from the heart of Leura and simply oozes charm. The property is secluded, each cabin has it's own parking and check-in (and out) was very nicely handled. This is a perfect place to stay to relax, get away from it all or have an amazing couples weekend.

Amazing accommodation in Leura!!!
Moo Manor at Old Leura Dairy was AMAZING!!! The space was so quaint and had so much character. We enjoyed the close location allowing us to explore the Blue Mountains while being able to come back to the gorgeous cabin and curl up by the fire. A must stay in the Blue Mountains!!!

We had a one night stay in this gorgeous eclectic studio. It was whisper quiet, meticulously clean and had everything included to make for a memorable stay. Everything from the comfortable bed, quality linen, the ambience of yesteryear, stainable design and the little touches of flowers, candle and homemade jam was a wonderful surprise. We look forward to making a longer booking very soon, the entire property was gorgeous and we couldn’t get over how very quiet the entire surroundings were.

Loved the little thoughtful touches and time and care that has gone into not just the cottage, but the whole surroundings. The hot tub, the paths, the webber BBQ, seating on the porch and picnic table, the care and maintenance of the gardens. Full of birdlife, possums, lizards and such great and fun stuff to do inside too. Log fire, games, and comfy couches. We had a such a relaxing time.

Lovely, well appointed property with a quirky feel. Loved the verandah looking out over the trees and mist rolling in. Great kitchen which we used to its full extent cooking up a storm for dinner. Comfy beds, lots of places to laze and many bathrooms to choose from. Only bother was that the WiFi did not work. Great place that we would visit again.

Dear Guest, The information provided to you at the time of booking advised that this cottage did not have a kitchen sink, it also advised exactly what would be included in the cottage on your arrival. The fact that there is no kitchen sink is a local council restriction imposed on us, not by our own choice. In the folder provided in the cottage it did outline the fact that our staff would look after any dishes that you required to have cleaned by placing them in a container provided. As for the health department I really am at a loss at to what they would need to have reported as your cottage was spotlessly clean and had high quality linens provided for your stay. We understand that our property does not suit all tastes however we do take offence at your comment regarding the health department. Sincerely,

Cute as a button
Peaceful and relaxing setting, we enjoyed having breakfast on the small deck listening to bird song. The Studio is surprisingly spacious with well planned appointments, and the recycled elements give a rustic and atmospheric effect. Thoughtful touches like the music playing on arrival and fresh flowers in the room are evidence of the care that goes into making this a lovely stay.

Eco Barn in Blue Mountains
We were in Buttercup Barn. A lovely four day break before heading back to UK. We did not have a car so limited ourselves to using the hop on hop off bus and walking. Another time I would rent a car to see things further afield though the combination of train and bus is probably adequate. Virtually no contact with staff so difficult to assess but am sure they would be excellent as our welcome thoughtful (lights on music playing) & plum jam delicious.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know how your stay with us went. We were surprised to hear about the lack of lighting around the hot tub as we do have solar garden lighting in this area which comes on in the evenings, on investigation we found that a timer must have been disrupted from a recent storm so the issue has been rectified. Once again thanks for letting us know.

The use of recycled materials in the buildings mostly worked well and gave the accommodation a distinctive edge. I wouldn’t stay here in the winter as there were a few gaps around the front door letting in drafts. There was no heating in the bathroom.

Hi Ross, Thanks for staying with us and our cottages are quite unique. During the colder months the natural gas heating keeps the cottage extremely cosy however you may prefer one of our larger cottages which along with natural gas heating have slow combustion fireplaces which really adds to the experience.

Lovely rustic cottage
Pretty old buildings with nice decor and a nice garden of flowers. Facilities were modern and adequate for a comfortable stay. There were lizards outside that scared me somewhat, but they were generally shy and stayed away. My group of 5 only stayed one night and we left very early the next morning so I never met any of the staff. But they had made arrangements for getting the key, and everything was well provided for, so we didn't need any service anyway. The toiletries were very good, and the bottle of jam was a nice touch.
