Very peaceful and relaxing. Key was simply sitting on front desk when we arrived, no staff there. One other couple so the 4 of us had the entire place to ourselves. Inside beautiful, rooms not as large as advertised but very nice. Outside of bldg needs maintenance and grounds needs a little TLC but still very pretty.

Stayed in Room 1. Lots of windows near freeway and train track. Super clean. Delicious breakfast. Tiny basin in bathroom so nowhere to even put toothpaste down. Small shelf over the toilet so make sure you shut the lid!

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.

Peaceful and Tranquil accommodation in Leura.
A very tranquil and peaceful place to stay. We loved having a cup of tea and reading in the lounge. Lovely Tim Tam biscuits were supplied as well. Included was a very good breakfast and fruit,tea and coffee available available throughout the day.
