The Milking Shed - Old Leura Dairy
ADDRESS:
Old Leura Dairy, 61 Kings Road (corner of Eastview Avenue), Leura, New South Wales 2780.
LOCATION:
The Milking Shed is part of Old Leura Dairy, 1.5 hours' drive west of Sydney via the M4 Freeway and Great Western Highway.
Leura is a very pretty town with a main street perfect for strolling and browsing. By day enjoy the many cafes and of course the spectacular Blue Mountains scenery. At night, feel the romance as the street twinkles with fairy lights. Take in sweeping views from the Sublime Point Lookout at the end of Sublime Point Road. Other lookouts are at the Gordon Falls Reserve in Olympian Parade and the Leura Cascades off Cliff Drive. Leura is also home to a number of artists and galleries. Exhibitions and festivals are held throughout the year as well as writing and painting workshops. Leura also has a wealth of shops selling antiques and collectibles.
DESCRIPTION:
The Milking Shed at Old Leura Dairy retains all the quirks and character of its chequered history.
Enjoy echoes of contented cows lowing while you savour the warm fire, watch television or tune out to some of your favourite CDs. Sleep the morning away up on the original hayloft, which now houses a great, big king size bed with a fluffy, feather doona. The original barn doors are still in place for you to fling open and let the sun shine in or keep closed for an intimate atmosphere.
Timber, old tin, stained glass windows, an antique claw foot bath and wrought iron all add to the overall effect of beauty and charm of The Milking Shed. 1 ½ bathrooms plus an additional 2 single beds make this a versatile retreat. A full kitchen with dishwasher allows you to choose between never leaving this little sanctuary or heading off to some of the fantastic local cafes and restaurants.
The Milking Shed is 1 of 6 lodgings at Old Leura Dairy, each offering something truly special. Each has it's own unique character and is set amongst beautifully landscaped gardens. A really special feature is an outdoor hot tub that is shared by all properties. An old milk vat that was used to collect and cool milk on a dairy has been converted to heat water. It fits 10 people if you don't mind getting friendly! Soak your cares away whilst snow softly drifts down around you, or gaze up at the stars on a warm summer's night. This hot tub is one of a kind!
