Popular Leura 4-star Hotels

Old resort but great activities and amenities for children. Don’t bother with italian restaurant onsite but cafe is okay with nice coffee and hot chocolate. Indoor Heated pool is not suitable for very young children as its a lap pool and an very warm onsen jacuzzi. Train ride was great fun for the kids!

This is a quiet gem just off the main road in Laura. It is exactly as described and full of character as you should expect from a genuine period property. Now look, there will always be those picky soles who find offence at a bit of faded curtain, or a stair tread that squeaks, and alright so it doesn’t offer breakfast or have an a la carte restaurant which is the only reason I can’t give this delightful house a 5th star. A huge plus is the fact they have true double beds, not two singles pushed together. I cannot tell you here how many times I’ve lost a leg down the gap in the middle of a supposed double bed. But, Laura House has the real thing, a firm double bed, a four poster if you choose, as we did the largest room on the first floor ( room number 3). It’s the bay window room. The water in the shower and bath is immediate, wonderfully hot and fast flowing. The rooms are spacious, clean and the welcome very warm. If you haven’t been to the area before, then know that Laura is the more chic side of Katoomba, just across o very small valley. The shops start about 400m from Laura House and feature a wide range of eateries, up beat clothing and accessory shops and the like. Most have survived the ravages of Covid and so welcome new visitors with unbridled enthusiasm and pride for their businesses. So to for Laura House. The parking is secure, the garden clearly set for families to chat and mingle or for a couple to slip away and settle on the garden sofa. It’s familiar, friendly and a little bit tired, think of Laura House as you would that wonderful elderly aunt that has so many stories to tell, doesn’t mind the children and lets you settle in a quiet space at the end of the day without constantly hassling you to plump up the cushions. Would I stay here again, you bet we will, and the same room so we can enjoy that four poster bed with a really clean white muslin drape overhead, which would have been the first sign of fatigue, instead it is clean, well loved and that really sums up this family run establishment. So if you want a quiet base just off the beaten track give them a call, they don’t bite !

A little disappointed. On arrival room ac did not work. Had to get hotel staff to clean the filter which was full of dust. There was a stale smell from the carpet, so had to leave patio door open for first 30 minutes each time we arrived. We did not create a fuss since we were only there for 2 nights. There were all the all the things like microwave, toaster, etc. The location is good with walking distance to restaurants etc.

Stayed here only for a night and I believe we could have been the only ones there at the time. The photos do justice and the rooms are as advertised. Staff member is very friendly. Mini me and I went for a walksie around the grounds. There is an old school kiddie playground near reception, ping pong table, footy field and basketball court. It looks like (and the website has confirmed this) that it used to be a school. We saw a pathway heading up the hill and were tempted to climb it, but decided to err on the side of caution. I highly recommend the accommodation for people that want to get away from the hustle and bustle. Loved the beds - very firm. Made for a fantastic sleep. Shampoo, soap and body wash are included as well as your standard milk, tea and coffee. The bathroom has heated tiles. There are no other toiletries, which would have been nice, and the televisions in the room are a little small, but not a deal breaker. Towels also included, so no need to bring any linen. The room is large, clean, comfortable with dining tables and chairs and we had a great view of the field. This retreat has no breakfast, room service or have any pools or spa. It is just around the corner from town centre (approx 2kms), so provided you have a vehicle, you should be ok to get any kind of food or other necessities. Wifi is available free. There is a parking lot available. If you have elderly, drop them off at receiving area because the main parking lot is downhill from the entrance. We spoke only direct to the person who checked us in. Upon entering the retreat, it will seem that any cultural decorations or displays that the website advertise seemed to have been taken down and/or put away. We walked past a Chinese dragon puppet prop hung in one of the hallways while we were exploring the property. However, after talking to a staff member activities are still available, but run through bookings direct and/or in accordance to demand. This property has LOADs of potential. The staff member advised that they have archery, calligraphy, dumpling making and even a theatre room and communal kitchen for large groups. I was blown away with this information, so given everything I was able to find out, am looking forward to seeing what I can plan when we come back with the extended family. If you want peace and quiet, I would highly recommend this property. Ultimately it boils down to what you are looking for. For us, it is peace, quiet and privacy. Given the price (we paid AUD$197.40 for 2 adults, a 16yo and an 8yo) for one night, I think it is quite competitive for the area. In return, we got a big space, peace and quiet, clean and comfortable accommodation. No bells and whistles.

Beautiful property. Stunning gardens. Very friendly staff. Spacious family twin rooms. Awesome breakfast. Breakfast/restaurant staff must be commended on their hospitality. They were very sensitive to our religious diet needs and approached us on their own to accommodate our needs. Absolutely amazing. Huge thank you.
