Ideal for a couple. Plenty of space and a real homely old fashioned feel. Charming but slightly dated. Nice outdoor sitting area with table and chairs and access to huge large gardens behind the property. The owner was very welcoming and we enjoyed the offer of half price Devonshire tea and a visit to the teapot museum. ##### Graham Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 18 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication True to description ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 25 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Beautiful large property.

Also, all the handles at the kitchen need a good clean, they are sticky hence feel dirty, this includes all the cabinets, stove and fridge. The freezer is filthy. The kettle and toaster are rusty. Nice fireplace and sunroom. ##### Lawrence Stayed 1 night in Sep 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Peter, Kogarah 21 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Well appointed, quiet location and a short walk to Leura Mall. Internet very slow/non existent. ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Sep 2020 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Angela 3 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness I am absolutely disgusted at the way the owner (who lives on the property) has treated me during my stay and the rude and threatening text message I have received after checkout. This owner has admitted to following me in my car after checking out!! Who does that!!! We were two women 51 and 42 years old on a weekend away. We DID NOT have any music or anything playing but we were telling stories laughing and having what we thought was a good time only to have this owner BANGING on the door at 11pm threatening to call the police on us for the “noise”. Nowhere did it say that the walls and floors are paper thin and that we had to be silent during our stay. I would NEVER recommend this property to anyone. It’s been hours since I checked out and I’m still upset and disgusted. Who threatens their guests!!! He literally threatened me by text and verbally!! HORRIBLE! ##### Angela Stayed 1 night in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret, Sydney 31 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities This was a great place to stay! We enjoyed it so much and would definitely come back. Perfect if you’re looking for a little cottage with full privacy and not many other people around. ##### Margaret Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 1 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Such a unique and beautiful place to stay. It had a wonderful energy and was incredibly peaceful and relaxing- everything you need is there- so well thought out and catered for.

Big comfortable beds and bathrooms with a spa bath ##### Grant Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicholas 3 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Quiet and convenient Review for Priest's Cottage Good location on the quiet outskirts of Leura and easy walking distance to the Mall for shops and restaurants (we recommend The Bunker). Easy self check in and well equipped property but we could barely get warm enough as we couldn't figure out the heating from the A/C unit. The bed was too soft for us, but some might like it. It was certainly nicely prepared. The bathroom looked a bit Cell Block H, but the shower was actually one of the best that I've used for a long time - very powerful blast of nice hot water. ##### Nicholas Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 5 Jun 2019 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Easy to find, easy to check in, great location. The cottage is VERY comfortable and will not disappoint. One thing that I would suggest is - please do the dusting! I would have liked to know more history - what order of nuns lived at the convent? What was the work of the order? What was the entire time frame of the property? ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 28 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Perfect for a lazy weekend away. Has everything you need for a hassle free getaway. Gas fire was an added surprise which got a workout while we were there ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 7 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice place. Very clean. Only issue is that we rented the part of the venue which sleeps 5 - it was advertised as 2 double beds and a single portable. The only issue is that while one of the doubles was in a sealed bedroom, the other was in the open plan living area, so the couple that slept on that had no privacy from anyone needing to pass through the lounge room, and also had the person in the single bed in the same room as them. This is not advertised, and the photos avoid showing that the configuration is like this. I would suggest updating the photos to show this, especially as it’s pretty expensive. Other than that, or if this isn’t an issue for you, the place was very nice. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 30 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely quiet area but still close enough to walk into Leura in about 5 minutes. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 23 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities While it is an old religious property, the gardens and cottage were great. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Sally 27 Nov 2018 Really enjoyed our stay at St Raphael. The Priests Cottage is quirky & cosy. The heater in the bedroom room was very welcome in the cold mornings & warmed the room instantly. Great shower & all you needed in the kitchenette to prepare most meals if eating in. It stands in beautiful gardens & is very quiet. Ideally situated just a short walk from Leura but far enough to feel separated from the hurly burly of a tourist town. We were able to follow several walking trails straight from the property but be warned - if you walk to Echo Falls there is no bus back ! So you need to walk back too - it is far shorter walking along the road but no where near as scenic. If staying with a larger group the other properties onsite looked really good. We also really appreciated the use of a guest laundry as we had been travelling around a lot. Great place to stay. Highly recommended. ##### Sally Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Chris 28 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness ##### Chris Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Paul James 19 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Paul James Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Katrina 24 Apr 2023 Liked: Communication Disliked: Amenities ##### Katrina Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Cecelia 20 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Cecelia Stayed 1 night in Dec 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Isla & Casita Motel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Batehaven-Hotels-The-Isla.h78230201.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sanctuary at Paradise Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jervis-Bay-Hotels-The-Sanctuary-At-Paradise-Beach.h20069732.Hotel-Information) > > [Arajilla Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lord-Howe-Island-Hotels-Arajilla-Retreat.h1052267.Hotel-Information) > > [Desert Gardens Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-Desert-Gardens.h67183126.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lord Byron](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Byron-Bay-Hotels-The-Lord-Byron.h2646995.Hotel-Information) > > [Idyllic Farm Cottage with Outdoor Bath Under the Stars](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manildra-Hotels-Idyllic-Farm-Cottage-With-Outdoor-Bath-Under-The-Stars.h28102767.Hotel-Information) > > [Tasman Holiday Parks - Merool on the Murray](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moama-Hotels-Merool-Holiday-Park.h9629141.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tamworth Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamworth-Hotels-The-Tamworth-Hotel.h18684340.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrigan's Hunter Valley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Harrigans-Irish-Pub-Accommodation.h1662165.Hotel-Information) > > [Snowy Wilderness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ingebirah-Hotels-Snowy-Wilderness.h4316653.Hotel-Information) > > [Seahorse Inn Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boydtown-Hotels-Seahorse-Inn.h3910114.Hotel-Information) > > [Albury Manor House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albury-Hotels-Albury-Manor-House.h445455.Hotel-Information) > > [Mantra Twin Towns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tweed-Heads-Hotels-Mantra-Twin-Towns.h1862508.Hotel-Information) > > [Burke and Wills Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moree-Hotels-Burke-And-Wills-Motor-Inn.h978570.Hotel-Information) > > [Samurai Beach Bungalows](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anna-Bay-Hotels-Samurai-Beach-Bungalows-Port-Stephens-YHA.h12456606.Hotel-Information) > > [Broughton Cottage - Pudding Hill Farm, Berry](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Foxground-Hotels-Broughton-Cottage-Pudding-Hill-Farm.h23586192.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [The Robertson Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Robertson-Hotels-The-Robertson-Hotel.h4580959.Hotel-Information) > > [Oaks Lake Crackenback Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Crackenback-Hotels-Lake-Crackenback-Resort-Spa.h11290088.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Haven White Sands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jervis-Bay-Hotels-Holiday-Haven-White-Sands.h27097344.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [Red Box Cottage - Tuross Head](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tuross-Head-Hotels-Red-Box-Cottage-Tuross-Head.h30666798.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozzie Pozzie Backpackers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Macquarie-Hotels-Ozzie-Pozzie-Backpackers-YHA.h25994908.Hotel-Information) > > [NRMA Blue Dolphin Yamba Holiday Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yamba-Hotels-Blue-Dolphin-Holiday-Resort.h3103292.Hotel-Information) > > [Bay Breeze Boutique Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Batemans-Bay-Hotels-Bay-Breeze-Boutique-Accommodation.h9307003.Hotel-Information) > > [Farm Getaway Southern Highlands, Pet Friendly, Scottish Highland cattle, alpacas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/High-Range-Hotels-Somerton-Barn.h66725167.Hotel-Information) > > [Crystalbrook Byron](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Crystalbrook-Byron.h2650066.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) ---
