Loved the heritage of the convent, the spaciousness of the accommodation, the beautiful garden, the location near Leura, the kitchen and the homeliness of the rooms with everything you could need, including a good library of books! Very comfortable. Downsides were the noise from the highway and the railway that had traffic and trains going all night. We had hoped for a quiet location.

Dear Lucy, Thank you for your time to share your experience at the Convent. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the amminties in the Convent. However, we are sad to hear about the noise from the highway & the railway (this could be due to trackwork being done on the weekend. They try & get as any trains through before the trackwork beings.) We hope to greet you again soon. Regards Jason for Maurice G Cooper OAM

A quick trip away

Loved the property, it was a great location and stunning house. Was perfect for our needs. Only issues we had was the bed is very soft (which is an us issue not the venue), and as there is another place above us, we were woken up early both mornings with the noise of people moving around upstairs. We had hoped for sleep in, but if you're an early riser it wouldn't be an issue. Otherwise, loved the place!

Hi Chanelle, Thank you for your time and effort in writing a review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay. The bed issue is a variable as some say too soft because we have a bamboo mattress protector yet other guests state "top beds"....so I guess as you say it is a "us" or personal opinion. The ultra trail was on the weekend you stayed and I believe every part of the building was up early on the three days save your last night. So our apology if it was an early start for the people upstairs. Pleased you loved the place. Regards Maurice

Absolute Bliss

Clean, warm and comfortable (besides the bed. it was way too soft and not as comfy for our liking ) besides that our stay was bliss! Very relaxing and everything was thought through well providing everything you need and more. Thank you Maurice, your level of communication was very impressive which made it easy for us and offered peace of mind.. I would highly recommend this property and will be happy to return again.

I feel that this property was lovely, great location, views , everything... I feel though a little more thought could be given to little things could be improve the stay to make the stay perfect... ie. Bubble bath provided, paper towel, more everyday glasses- (there were lots of wine glasses) softer towels & providing more milk .. overall a lovely place ..
