Hotels near Light & Shadow Fine Art Gallery, Leura

Alan the piano player was a most excellent surprise when we checked in late 1 night. We enjoyed the open fire, the nice beer and relaxing to Alans playing after a long day of rain and cold. The rooms in hotel are large, but could do with a brighten up. We only stayed 1 night. We did have a bit of an issue which the staff dealt with speedily and to our satisfaction.

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.

A large resort hotel in the hinterland. The facilities are complete. In particular, the price of the large indoor real ice rink is very affordable and there are not many people. and indoor heated pool. are all worth recommending Very suitable for self-driving

We had a truely wonderful time at the Carrington. The old world charm and character of the well maintained heritage hotel was matched by the friendly and helpfull staff. Dining in the Grand Dining Room was amazing and the meals were excellent. We all had a wonderful time and are planning to make it an annual event.

Boutique hotel, British style. The rooms and restaurants have a wonderful view, the valley filled with greenery, the elm trees blooming on the top of the tree, the birds rising from the sky, the colorful clouds.

Room clean and bed very good. Bathroom had excessive condensation but could have been due to cool climate. Location was ideal as I did not have to drive through Katoomba to get anywhere as it is situated with easy access to the Great Western Highway in either direction.

Renovated interior with a chic look, however the toilet was pretty dark. Could do with better lightings.

Nice, quiet motel. Friendly staffs. One of few properties that provide room with 1 queen and 3 single beds for family of 5. Room was nice and clean, even have heated blankets for the cold winter. Thank you.
