A rural life experience at Old Leura

1/3

Ever wanted to experience rural life in the Blue Mountains? At Old Leura Dairy, you can do just that – well kind of! Set in a converted dairy farm, this upscale four-star hotel offers six rustic cabins which each bestow a name that voices the site’s former function as a dairy – think The Milking Shed, Buttercup Barn, and Moo Manor.

Whichever cabin you choose, you can appreciate a flat-screen TV, a claw foot bath, and either an open- or slow-combustion fire to keep you snug at night. Recognised as an eco-hotel, each of the cabins uses up to 80% of environmentally friendly materials. The Straw Bale House, for example, is constructed with straw-bale walls to ensure maximum insulation during the different seasons.

On a smaller scale, cabins are also appointed with recyclable toilet paper, organic aloe vera soap, and compost bags for fruit and vegetable leftovers. Mother Nature will be pleased indeed!
