Over a century ago, Leura was the site of several large residences built by various orders of nuns on prime sights on the crest of Leura hill. One of these, St Raphael (circa 1902) remains. It is a former convent and local landmark. Today it boasts three elegant, self-contained holiday accommodations set in a 6000 square metre private estate with a rambling Sorenson garden and views to Sydney.

St Raphael is only a leisurely five-minute stroll (300 metres) from Leura Mall, the railway station, taxis and tourist hop-on-hop-off buses. Leura Mall has an outstanding selection of cafes, restaurants, boutiques, galleries and grand gardens.

St Raphael Leura looks forward to greeting you.

What this place offers

The Convent

The reconfigured and refurbished Convent is a luxurious residence in the east wing of the main building, with European style central heating and an open gas fire to create a cosy atmosphere on cold winter nights. It boasts two extra large bedrooms, two stunning bathrooms, a huge open plan eat-in kitchen, tasteful lounge and dining area (with an extension table) and two separate delightfully warm winter sunrooms. French doors lead from the main living rooms onto your own north facing patio sitting area overlooking some of the many rambling old Sorenson gardens. The Convent is very spacious. It can accommodate two couples or a family of four, or just one couple by using all the facilities but without the second bedroom and bathroom.

The Old Chapel

The renovated and refurbished Old Chapel is a large and luxurious space which was formerly the convent chapel. It forms the north wing of the main convent building. It has two sleeping areas in separate rooms, both with en suited bathrooms (one with generous sized spa bath), a modern eat-in kitchen, a large living and dining space, and its own furnished outdoor patio area overlooking the gardens. European-style central heating is perfect for those cold winter nights. Your parking is adjacent to the private chapel entry. The Old Chapel can accommodate two couples or family of four or just one couple by using all the spacious comfortable living area, but without the extra bedroom and bathroom.

The Priest's Cottage

The charming, sunny Priest's Cottage sits in the leafy St Raphael grounds. It sleeps one couple (queen bed) and is ideal for a romantic escape. It also makes a cosy and peaceful retreat for one. The cottage has been refurbished for style and comfort with quality furniture and fittings, eat-in kitchenette / dining room, bed-sitting room and bath room. Parking is conveniently close to the private front entrance. Heating is generous and under guest's control.
