About this property

Escape to the luxury of your own mountain retreat

Escape to the luxury of your own mountain retreat. Relax and enjoy the sweet smells of the bushland while listening to the singing of the birds, and the wind whispering through the trees. Banksia Cottage offers a unique self-contained accommodation experience, beautifully nestled in tranquil Leura bushland, in the heart of the pristine Blue Mountains.

This modern cottage accommodates up to six people featuring two queen bedrooms and one twin single bedroom, two spacious bathrooms (one with a spa bath), a fully equiped gourmet kitchen, and sophisticated lounge with a modern gas-log fire place for cosy winter nights. Your group of friends or family will enjoy the scenic outlook complete with local bird life, either from the large sunny deck or cosy heated interior at any time of year. Leura Banksia Cottage is ideal accommodation for small intimate groups, corporate gatherings or families.

Banksia Cottage Leura is located in a cul-de-sac surrounded by the World Heritage listed Blue Mountains National Park and behind Leura Golf Course. It enjoys ideal access to the amenities and attractions of the Blue Mountains region where you can take advantage of the proximity of many of the best bush walks in the world!

If you're feeling active, cross the road and join the scenic bush walk along 'Lyrebird Dell' down to 'Gordon Falls' and expereince first hand the beauty of the 'Pool of Siloam'. Then sit back and enjoy a glass of wine on the private deck, take in the stunning bushland view and toss your worries to the wind!

Best stay in Leura
My family and I had the best experience staying in Banksia cottage. The cottage provided everything, in fact beyond what you would expect and needed for. Blue Mountain National Park is just few steps away from the cottage and is highly recommended. We were lucky enough to spot a pair of Yellow-tailed black Cockatoos while having afternoon cuppa on a balcony. And keeping your eyes peeled for post dinner wildlife encounters through the dining windows. We’ll definitely be back staying at The Banksia cottage again.

Wonderful get away in the Blue Mountains!
Our family of five had a wonderful time at the Banksia Cottage. The house is on the edge of Leura, NSW. Only a stone’s throw from a view of the Three Sisters rock formation.. it is the last house on the street and only a couple nearby houses in view. We had all the space and amenities we could ask for, including a jetted tube for after walking the trails. We had several sightings of a swamp wallaby in the backyard, as well as numerous beautiful and colorful birds. The house did not have AC, but even in the summer the nights are very cool and we needed the heat to take the morning chill off. Fantastic stay for all of us!

Banksia house was a spacious and clean family home. It was exceptionally well equipped with all we needed and more! A perfect quiet location overlooking the beautiful bush with a large outdoor deck to sit and relax. I can’t fault this place for a getaway.

Return to Banksia Cottage Leura
This was our families 2nd stay at Banksia Cottage and it's just as hard to leave. A welcoming and cosy cottage with maby home comforts and tree views from every window. The seclusion and location drew us back, with walks and views from the front door. We look forward to returning again. Thank you for sharing your home.
