Beauty and comfort

The Old Chapel was wonderfully comfortable and on such a cold day the central heating was much appreciated, as was the spa bath! The gardens provided a beautiful, tranquil outlook.

Gorgeous Chapel Leura

An extremely comfortable,warm and cosy stay in the chapel. It had everything we needed and on the coldest few days of the year up the mountains, the very efficient central heating kept us so toasty all night. Gorgeous sunrise and sunset views front and back. Thoroughly recommended!

Simple and comfortable

We spent 2 very comfortable nights in The Priest's Cottage. The cottage is equipped with all of the basics and then some. Quiet, private, well priced and within very easy walking distance of Leura shops. Decor is a bit eclectic but that is a minor issue. Recommended

It’s one of the nicest place I have ever stayed in. Wished I had booked it for a few days instead of just 1. Peaceful environment. Clean, beautiful, cosy, big home. Well equipped kitchen. Even has manual and instructions clearly printed. My friends and I really loved it. Thank you!

Mother daughter getaway

This house (chapel) was very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. The only hiccup was trying to check in. We arrived the same time as another couple and none of us had a check in code. It was apparently sent via another website but I couldn’t open it. But when I called a lovely young man showed up within minutes and helped us all to Open our doors.

Perfect serenity

The Chapel is a lovely space that is beautifully renovated and decorated to a very high standard. It’s only a 5 min walk to town but is very quiet and peaceful. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely return.

Long weekend in Leura

We found the property the be spacious, clean, warm and well appointed. The location is great being a 5 minutes walk to Leura shops and away from the crowds. Would highly recommend The Chapel. If staying with another couple at The Chapel be aware that the main bed is not private but this is obvious from the photos.

Lacking privacy

While the setting was lovely and the gardens gorgeous, the accommodation offers very little in the way of privacy, which made our stay a little less comfortable than we would have hoped for.

Better than the beautiful photos

We only stayed for the one night, wished it could have been a week, an idyllic home, lush garden, everything in the house was just as you'd wish, down to sharp knives in the kitchen (a total rarity in holiday rentals). Would happily recommend his lovely property. Pure delight!

Superb !

Four of us stayed at the Nuns Quarters at St Raphael over a weekend. We had two bedrooms and bathrooms and a large open plan living kitchen area. There was a lovely amount of space which flowed onto an open deck and the garden. We had all the comforts of home, with tasteful décor and quality fittings. The kitchen was amazing, as were the views. It was so comfortable we needed to force ourselves out to enjoy the Blue Mountains!

Nice but don't ask for more towels

Lovely venue, beautiful, and well equipped. But - we stayed 3 days, were given two towels each and the host flatly refused to supply more towels. For the price it was ridiculous stinginess. The attitude really turned us off the property. We travel a great deal and have never come across such counter productive behaviour.
