Leura House is a stunning old home in a fantastic location, just a short walk from town, offering plenty of charm and history. However, despite its potential, our stay did not live up to expectations based on the website’s description.
One of the biggest disappointments was the lack of an onsite restaurant or breakfast service, both of which were outlined on the website but were unavailable during our stay. Additionally, the room’s furnishings and amenities left much to be desired—the mattress was old and overly firm, and the pillows were so flat we had to purchase replacements from Kmart.
Temperature control was another issue. Guests have no control over the heating, which is centrally managed and only turned on when the property decides. With daytime temperatures dropping to 2 degrees, this was far from ideal, as the heating could not be manually adjusted.
The bathroom also presented challenges. The shower door was broken, making it difficult to enter or exit, and the water temperature was inconsistent. Despite setting the hot water to its maximum and turning off cold water entirely, the shower was only lukewarm.
Leura House has tremendous potential, but unfortunately, due to these issues, we would not return.
