Absolutely beautiful, extremely comfortable, good location close to village. Lovely grounds and gardens.

Perfect for a couple of days in the Blue Mountains. Comfortable bed, great shower, had everything we needed. Easy to walk to Leura for coffee, shopping, walking trails.

St Raphael is close to the main street of Leura, though for someone walking home alone at night, the route may be a little dark, and you need to take care crossing the roundabout turnoff road from the main highway. The property itself is beautiful, in a secluded quiet substantial garden setting, almost park like in its extensiveness. One doesn't usually hang out in one's accommodation in the Blue Mountains, but this is a place of tranquility well suited to relaxing. The owners are super friendly and helpful, and responded quickly to SMS communication. There were lots of neat little touches inside the cottage. The Priest's cottage, where I stayed, was separate from the main building, very quiet and secluded, and beautifully made up.

The air conditioner was a little noisy at times at night, though it didn't keep me awake.

Loved the heating being on & the electrect blamket, a very nice surprise

A cute & quirky stand alone cottage in a quiet space with lovely gardens

Location was perfect.

More seating around garden areas. Gardens needed a little maintenance, but this seemed to be ongoing while we were there as a lot of gardening stuff and chemicals were left lying around. Specifically chose this accommodation for gardens, peacefulness and bird watching.

Quiet, spacious, clean, beautiful gardens
