Best stay in Leura

My family and I had the best experience staying in Banksia cottage. The cottage provided everything, in fact beyond what you would expect and needed for. Blue Mountain National Park is just few steps away from the cottage and is highly recommended. We were lucky enough to spot a pair of Yellow-tailed black Cockatoos while having afternoon cuppa on a balcony. And keeping your eyes peeled for post dinner wildlife encounters through the dining windows. We’ll definitely be back staying at The Banksia cottage again.

Wonderful get away in the Blue Mountains!

Our family of five had a wonderful time at the Banksia Cottage. The house is on the edge of Leura, NSW. Only a stone’s throw from a view of the Three Sisters rock formation.. it is the last house on the street and only a couple nearby houses in view. We had all the space and amenities we could ask for, including a jetted tube for after walking the trails. We had several sightings of a swamp wallaby in the backyard, as well as numerous beautiful and colorful birds. The house did not have AC, but even in the summer the nights are very cool and we needed the heat to take the morning chill off. Fantastic stay for all of us!

Ladies weekend

Banksia house was a spacious and clean family home. It was exceptionally well equipped with all we needed and more! A perfect quiet location overlooking the beautiful bush with a large outdoor deck to sit and relax. I can’t fault this place for a getaway.

Return to Banksia Cottage Leura

This was our families 2nd stay at Banksia Cottage and it's just as hard to leave. A welcoming and cosy cottage with maby home comforts and tree views from every window. The seclusion and location drew us back, with walks and views from the front door. We look forward to returning again. Thank you for sharing your home.
