About this property

Highgarden at Leura...

An outdoor Spa has been added.
Highgarden house strikes a perfect balance between convenience and character. It's a fantastic base for a relaxing & enjoyable retreat in the Blue Mountains. The house caters equally for families (with travel cot, highchairs, child cutlery/crockery and games) and for groups of friends seeking a getaway together. It is close to the convenience of Leura Mall (walking distance - less than 1.4km), and just around the corner from the Old Leura Dairy.

Welcome to our newly renovated home for the perfect blue Mountains escape! The heart of the house is the stunning lounge with exposed wooden beam ceiling, combustion fire, 50-inch 4k T.V, and decadent furniture for relaxing or catching up with friends. Alternatively, chill out in the sunroom which opens out onto the majestic and extensive gardens. If you enjoy the outdoors, you will love exploring the large established garden full of natives, whilst listening to the gurgling stone waterfall. You may even choose to host a B.B.Q and eat outside at the large outdoor dining table with comfortable chairs.

When it comes to indoor cooking, the brand-new kitchen is equipped with everything you need to make your stay convenient and stress-free. The bedrooms are all conveniently located and furnished, with the 3 bedrooms upstairs featuring built in wardrobes. Highgarden House has plenty of entertainment activities options, including table tennis in the studio, plus complimentary Netflix, unlimited Wi-Fi, extensive D V D, C D and book collections and a retro games console (with 100 classic games). Even an indoor stay can be a lot of fun. If it's cold the house is well equipped with gas heating (in addition to the combustion fire), electric blankets and super warm doonas and blankets.

Nice cottage
Old style home but clean and comfortable - very enjoyable stay - quiet neighbourhood Just a few suggestions - need to put the coffee machine brand (Aldi) in the pre notes so that people can bring the right pods For the quality of the home - fitted sheets would normally be expected - overall great stay

Fantastic
This property was perfect for our girl getaway! plenty of room and bedrooms. A few things need to be fixed such as the front light and the exhaust fan in the upstairs bathroom, other than that the property was fantastic! We will be back.

Girls Weekend
Had a great weekend at Highgardens…..Lovely house with plenty of room. Well equipped kitchen, good heating.. Had a few problems keeping the fire alight but managed. 2 minor things I would mention Could do with a full length mirror in one of the downstairs bedrooms Instructions on using the oven(not stove top)..we couldn’t find them if they were there….. All in all very good……

Highgardens with friends
We really enjoyed our stay. The property was in a lovely location and was extremely well prepared and stocked. The hot tub was an awesome feature! (was actually the reason we chose this property). The perfect size house for several friends to stay (or even multiple families). Some suggestions: - the kitchen/dining/sunroom area was extremely cold and could benefit from curtains on all of the glass in this area. - - We struggled for fresh air as most of the windows on the front of the house wouldn't open. In particular, upstairs became extremely stuffy once we had the heat on. This is an important area, especially with the fireplace and no evident carbon monoxide detector. - The inclusion of suitable coffee pods would have been appreciated, or a clear note on the listing as to which are suitable to allow guests to bring their own. Neither of the 2 different styles of pods upon arrival would fit, and we purchased another style based on guess work and they didn't fit either. - Consider providing some plastic glasses for safe use in the hot tub - most guests would enjoy a beverage whilst out in the area.

Lovely weekend getaway
Lovely cosy property, very well stocked and comfortable. We had a bit of trouble keeping the fire going but the heating unit was very effective. Wonderful experience overall and the owner was very generous in giving us a late checkout as well which was great.

Maintenance needed
First impression was bad. Had to throw ourselves at the jammed front door to get it open. That occurred every time we went out. Could do with a big dust and cleanup of the cobwebs. Looks better on the internet than in reality. Bathrooms although very clean need updating.

Impressive Holiday House
Overall is a good holiday house, we enjoyed it very much. Kitchen had everything we need to cater for 10 ppl. BBQ stove was clean and outdoor seating was good. The only shortfalls are no mirror in the single twin bedroom downstairs and no antenna for the TV. My friend was beaten by the insect on bed after the first night sleep. Upstair shower room was leaking after shower. The lawn grass was a bit long. Hope all these will provide some suggestions for improvement. Thank you!!

Pleasant stay with the family
We stayed at the Highgarden house with our family for a long weekend. It was a nicely presented property that was comfortable and accommodated our young family well. The outside areas however could have been better maintained, the gardens were a bit overgrown and untidy. The air vent above the fridge was dropping water and there was a water leak through the roof in the laundry as well. The house just needed some more TLC but we still enjoyed our stay there.

Bliss in the Blue Mountains
Highgarden is an oasis, far enough away from town to be peaceful yet close enough to parked and meandering in 10 minutes. The large and cosy lounge room as well as the garden are highlights.

Wished we’d booked an extra night!
Your house was absolutely perfect for our group of 9 girls Ali! And opening it to being pre warmed was a very welcome touch! We all had the best sleeps...warm, cosy and SO quite! We made full use of the kitchen and you had everything you’d need for a weekend away...we just wished we’d booked for an extra night! And that we could see the front rhododendron when it’s in full bloom...we’re so close! The late check out was a hugely appreciated luxury!
