Leura House

An old house with large rooms and a garden, good to have a bath and traditional shower. No housekeeping but not needed for three nights and in fact easier not to have to bother. Interesting arrival with guided tour on the mobile phone, we did not see any staff during our stay. Nice bar and sitting room which is not working at present but good to sit with your own food and drink (glasses and plates provided)

I really looked forward to staying here but was really disappointed. The house, built in 1880, looks great from the outside however the inside is not quite the same. The pictures posted don't capture the reality. Don't come here for Rooms are accessible from steep narrow stairs - not a complaint just a note to travellers. I explained the room we were offered, up two flights of stairs and then along a sloping walkway, with no lift, would be difficult for us to carry luggage up. A call was made and we were offered one of two rooms. The first on the ground floor was an immediate no thanks. We were then moved to the first floor. Tx to the reception who carried my bag up. Even with the late room change, the room had some serious issues. Mould on curtains and windows, broken pulls and knobs, broken hairdryer and curtain falling off. I do not say this because I'm being mean, rather, it should be a priority for the owner to repair/clean these things before they cause a health risk. And before charging over $200 a night. Despite the sign on the fence saying 'restaurant' and 'lounge bar' there is none, no breakfast or other food on offer. It is fully understandable that the cost of upkeep of what is probably a heritage building is huge but charge less and lower the customers expectations please. Thanks to the wonderful receptionist who was very welcoming and helpful.

Lovely location. And the building was beautiful. But rather tired. Needed some tlc. No breakfast. No bar. No refreshments.

Loved the common room for chilling in the afternoon (shame the restaurant is no longer operating). Rukshan was friendly and helpful. Room 2 needs the curtain fixed so the ExIT sign is not visible through the night. Would definitely recommend and stay again. So close to Leura Mall.

Lovely clean historical building in beautiful gardens. Easy walking distance to great cafes, restaurants and the commercial strip at Leura. Free onsite parking. Large and comfortable room with very reasonable rates. Remarkably quiet overnight given its proximity to the transport corridor. Quite the find.

Awesome location. At first I thought it was a wee way out of town - but its a very short walk across the road to the Leura Village. The House itself is huge and we were on the third floor - with narrow stair access only. The stairs were worth the climb as we had great views from our balcony. The birdlife is amazing - and very noisey but we loved it. WiFi on the top floor is touch and go. They really need a WiFi extender to give slightly better coverage to the top floor, but I was on holiday so it didnt matter. The bed was fairly ancient and needs a new mattress or at least a memory foam topper - I would only give it a 5 out of ten for comfort. (please fix this Bronwyn- it will make a big difference to your reviews). There were UHT capsules and basic tea/coffee facilities, so I'd suggest taking your own milk if you use milk. There was a small fridge in the room - The UHT milk is dubious and lumpy. The communal area is great downstairs - and is work in progress to restart the kitchen/bar. It would've been great to have tea/coffee/water available there instead of walking back up 3 flights stairs for a drink. Maybe next time. Oh and on arrival, if reception is unattended the outside door is usually locked so you have to ring reception - which is a problem if you are from overseas and havent got mobile roaming. A doorbell would be great or a whatsapp number to contact via wifi. Yes I would stay there again. Great value for money.

Nice historical (1880) guest house. Friendly informative welcome. Convenient position with short walk to Leura shops and restaurants. Note steep steps to upstairs bedrooms if you struggle with your luggage.

Leura House has a lovely ambience - warm and welcoming on the ground floor, especially the lounge area. Finn who was the only staff member on site on Saturday night was checking guests in and showing them to their rooms. As it is a heritage building there is no lift. my room was on the top floor up 3 narrow flights of stairs. Finn carried my suitcase upstairs on arrival and downstairs on checkout. Leura House is good value. My room was spacious with a balcony overlooking the garden and great views of Leura in the distance. The central heating wasnt turned on in my room (plumbing not working on enquiry) and the overnight temp was 6C. I was gettign cold so I got up at 3am and turned on the oil column heater & put on my dressing gown & went to sleep. It will be great when this historic guesthouse offers drinks at sunset and breakfast in the morning to guests!

Nice historic house - 1st house built in Leura with an interesting past.. dont be put off by the dated bathroom - they are trying to preserve the history rather than modernise. Very quiet place only a few kins walk from the station. Staff very friendly. When we stayed the lounge and bar was closed and we were allowed to take a bottle of wine and sit/relax... Excellent choice for a short weekend getaway..

The owners have put in great effort to make a charming and unique stay for guests. What a beautiful piece of history, like an amazing window into the Federation history of Leura. The room was super comfortable with a beautiful bed, well appointed amenities and there was also a lovely downstairs lounge. The grounds are very peaceful, and the property being an easy short walk into Leura shops made it such an ideal place to stay. Thank you for making our weekend peaceful and relaxing, unique and a real treat.

The property has lots of potential but is very run down. Apart from that there is one heater for 3 rooms, the carpet was filthy, the beds not made properly (main bed base sheet elastic up and blanket not to the bottom and single bed sheet tucked to wall so as soon as you get in sheets out), electric blanket only worked on one side of the bed, no hand towels or face washers and I could go on. An extremely disappointing stay.

Clean, comfortable, quiet and affordable in a great location for exploring Leura. Would stay again.

I liked the old building very much and the peace and quiet was very relaxing. The room was spotless and the heating was great (there was a cold snap that day). Close to town and the railway stations.

Very clean well kept and friendly. Close to Leura town and

No fridge in the room as stated on the website, and we just returned from the grocery. Small heater, that never warmed the high ceiling room and no blanket heaters. Strong smell of mold.

住進古蹟之中感覺另有一番風味，舊時使用的門窗另有體會，用品和家具有用心清潔，床十分舒服，我們一家休息得很好。職員有禮，熱誠，為我們介紹所住古蹟的歷史和地區的典故，推薦和希望可以再來

Nice historic place which is only few minutes walk to shops and restaurants. The room was clean.

Anne was very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the room was very basic, mattress was hard the pillows were lumpy and the tea and coffee facilities were like something from the 80's. There was a bar fridge in the room but it didn't work and the tv didn't have a guide option so you had no idea what was on and where the stations were. We paid extra for a balcony room but no chairs to sit out on and enjoy the view. The bathroom had no vanity to put anything so you had to keep all toiletries in the bedroom. Plus a hand towel would of been handy.The property was clean though.

The facilities in the room was a bit old. The hair dryer sparked and perhaps short circuited when I was blowing my hair.

Excellent staff. Huge room.

Beautiful property. The beds were really hard and uncomfortable.

I loved my little getaway at Leura House. I was in the executive room right at the top. It was so quiet! The view was gorgeous sitting on the balcony, especially in the early evening and sunrise and there were lots of birds to watch. It was so close the excellent Leura shopping strip which was great. Rukshan was friendly and helpful and suggested places to eat and the stunning nearby lookout and the best time to visit. The room was clean and comfortable and the wifi was perfect. There were stairs which didn't bother me, I found it all really charming and love how Rukshan is preserving the heritage of the building. Ruskshan was happy to provide milk, wine glasses or anything else I'd needed. There was a lovely lounge area that people were enjoying and plenty of chairs to lounge in in the garden, plus a daybed. Hoping to come back when I next need a recharge.

Interesting heritage property. The beds were not very comfortable and other rooms were not soundproof.

This is a stunning building with a rich history. Beautiful architecture, beautiful grounds, warm and friendly service. The room, while functional, was disappointing. I loved the antique furniture, the main bed was a stunning four poster, however the mattress was so hard I could not sleep and my back is really paying for it. The sofa was extremely uncomfortable and I spent most of my stay there sitting on the floor. Please update these rooms with their high ceilings, beautiful ceiling roses and rich history, in this truly beautiful building to ensure guests are comfortable and will be keen to return. This building deserves nothing less.

A lovely historic guest house in need of love. In my room, the blind had no pull, requiring me (a senior) to climb onto the window seat to close it. The curtains were partially off the hooks, the tv remote didn’t work and furniture had missing drawer pulls. One push out window catch was broken which was probably an WHS issue , hopefully they would not let a toddler be in the room as the window seat / wide opening window on the 1 st floor would have been a safety concern. Very steep stairs which were difficult for me as I have hip problems. Very noisy water pipes. I would love to see the historic building treated with the care it warrants…

Amazing friendly service for a comfortable and pleasant stay! Check in went smoothly with a brief tour of the place, the garden and lounge area were lovely to relax in. The room was also clean and comfortable. Would love to stay again!

Excellent location, amazing building, and staff was great

This was my second stay at Leura house in the last month. On both visits I have been impressed by the service (you get a walk through the building and shown to your room) and the character of the place. Location is fantastic, rooms are very spacious.

What a charming guest house with a great host in a wonderful location. Good price too! Highly recommended

Nice staff. Hotel is good.

Lots of History, a bit old but very clear, comfortable and staff very helpfully Many thanks

Not a good experience. No service. no breakfast, no restaurant, no bar. No staff on site overnight. Milk for self serve tea was a month out of date and curdled when added to hot water. Upstairs fire escape was though my son's room, with a key in a break box outside the room so any one could get in/out. Fire escape in his room was obstructed by the television placed on a table directly in front the fire door. I used two "reward nights" to pay for one of the two rooms. No refund given despite the appalling lack of service.

We enjoyed our one night stay at Leura House. A warm welcome at reception, room was comfortable and overall an interesting, charming place. Walk into Leura very easy for dining options. Would stay again!

Beautiful historic house that is easy walking distance to Leura Mall providing all your dining requirements. Great value family rooms. More work is needed to make this a must go to place for all. Congratulations to a great staff and small team for an enjoyable experience.

Great location and the hygiene was good. But the mattress was very bed and sinked in and very uncomfortable to sleep on. They were still showing in the website that there was a dining for breakfast but that was not working. The heater in the room was not working which they had replace with a smaller one which tetool a long time to hit the room. I asked the lady in the reception if I could do a late check out as we checked late but she did say that she could not do that as the hotel was full while in the two days yhay I was there were only 3 car park only !! And yes the rooms I have very different from what they look on the pictures they promote on.

Nice historic house - 1st house built in Leura with an interesting past.. dont be put off by the dated bathroom - they are trying to preserve the history rather than modernise. Very quiet place only a few kins walk from the station. Staff very friendly. When we stayed the lounge and bar was closed and we were allowed to take a bottle of wine and sit/relax... Excellent choice for a short weekend getaway..
